my python escaped PLEASE HELP ME
My girl friend was feeding her python and left our enclosure open for a half hour or more and my 6 to 8 month old 3ft ball python got out and is some where in my house. My house is 2500 sq feet and I have a Michigan basement. If you're from here you know what I mean. That is my fear because my house is old there is a lot of holes and crannies that go to the sub floor up stairs and my basement. In the basement I have a riased wood floor so I can't find him if he's there. It also gets hot down there since I have a boiler. I am about to army crawl through my second crawl space and I'm afraid of spiders but have to do it an ways. What's the likelihood he crawls over 30 to 40 feet in 3 days? And by the way I have old drain pipes that are not covered and I'm afraid to cover them. Now would he come back and try to find warmth if it's cold? It is winter here so I don't think he'll go outside. What's a good tactic--make it really warm or cold so he'll try to come back to warmth? My whole house including the basement are warm.

Re: my python escaped PLEASE HELP ME
Your best bet is to start looking around the enclosure. Other wise simply go room to room looking in every spot possible. There is no magic trick to finding them...

my python escaped PLEASE HELP ME
Ok, my girlfriend left our enclosure open while she fed her python. They're both around 6 months old.
My python escaped.
My fear is my house is huge and I have an old basement with old drains and pipes and a big mouse problem.
My whole house is very warm right now because it's winter here in Michigan.
My ? is should I wait for him to come out? I've already ransacked the whole house. I'm about to srt all my dirty laundry. I've already sifted through it.
I've crawled through my crawl spaces and left heat sources and dead mice around but no luck. I've tried flour on the floor where I thought he went with no luck either.
So what should I do? If he entered something, will he come back out? Please help me!!!!

Re: my python escaped PLEASE HELP ME
Ok so the OP screwed up and knows it. Rather than jump all over him/her can anyone offer some constructive advice ?

Re: my python escaped PLEASE HELP ME
Please help. It wasn't even me who did it. My girl is not allowed to touch the tank unless I'm here now.

Re: my python escaped PLEASE HELP ME
Like I said before.. no magic tricks to find it really. You just need to look everywhere you can.

Re: my python escaped PLEASE HELP ME
I've done that. My question is, should I leave the heat up in hopes that it makes him active? Or turn it down so he seeks out the heat sources I've left on every floor?
