    Guys I Effed up big time.. i feel like a failure :\

    I forgot to put a weight on my cage... and my two Bps got out... :| and it's been 9 days now and i've looked virtually everywhere... I can't find them.. i've done everything.. from putting and lining trash bags across the room entrances of my house to flour... Bad news is i have a cat.... and she likes to play with them.. ive monitored my cat and my bps together and idk ifshe was clawing them or patting them... but i shooed my cat away everytime it looked dangerous but then i realized shes pushingthem away.. But heres the other stupid thing..

    2 days before i lost the bps i had a small usps box with 2 med mice.. and it was on my deep freezer top and they kept jumping .. the next morning the box was on the ground.. mice gone... x_X I HAve 4 animals wandering around my house... And i cant seem to find a SINGLE ONE.. I'm so frustrated.. i check under all the couches every day .. I CANT FIND THEM ANYWHERE... I feel like a horrible snake owner... :,( I've looked behind the washer dreyer.. under the stove... under every single couch... behind every couch... everywhere in my room since the cage was there.. No luck whatsoever.. i mean thinking that i lost two it would be easy to find at least one.. but no signs of them anywhere x_X do you guys suppose they went in the toilet or something? or went outside??!? it is arizona after all and its pretty hot outside though i wouldnt know how theyd get out :C i'm freaking out I have no more ideas i even put a hide out in the living room... for the past 3 days no luck... :| my cat has been acting strangely though running here and there... she normally just lounges... but i track her and i seem to find nothing as well.. :\ I feel so horrible.. i never wanna take my eyes off my snakes again if i find them.. :[ ive even looked between cushions.. anyone have ideas where they may be?

    Hope you find them!

    This is another good reason not to house snakes together...If you lose one, you lose the other(s)!

    Look in places you don't expect.
    They can surprisingly fit in very small and tight areas.

    You can lay out tin foil on the ground. If they slither across it, you can definitely tell.

    Are they big? If not check inside shoes. Believe it or not I had a baby escape one time from a rack that was by clothes hanging in my closet before I had my reptile room, she was up on the clothes rod. Iv'e had a couple escapees and the furthest they were was 10 ft from the enclosure.

    My female got out the other day... I found her squeezed under my baseboard heater. Good thing it wasn't turned on...

    You probably don't have baseboard heaters in an Arizona house though. If you have any cabinets in the room, check under the overhang. Lazy builders have a tendency to leave gaps on the underside where you can't see them. In my old house the gap was so large my cat got into it. On that note, all the furniture and such that you think is "solid" I'd check again. Especially in Arizona where those darn lazy builders don't have to worry about you noticing drafts.
