She will come out! My husband lost a garter one time and we thought the dog ate it... it showed up 3 days later, just chillin' in the corner. My roommate lost a BP when we were in college, didn't find him until 3 days later (he was in her makeup case). She's in the house somewhere, so don't worry about her being outside or anything. Not sure where you're located, but if it's chilly, you can try dropping the temperature in your house and leave a heat pad and hide out like someone mentioned.

It's time to get on your hand and knees and think like a snake.
I lost my piebald once and found her behind my 800# gun safe. Needless to say, that was a complete nightmare to safely extrude her from behind it.

Re: Help! Ginger is loose
FOUND!!!! She was either under the magazine rack or in the bookcase! She was cold, so I wrapped her in a warm towel for a few minutes. Added duct tape to the top of her tank to keep her in!!!

Glad you found her! It's amazing how well they can hide when they want to.

Duct tape is generally a bad idea around any snake. Get a better cage.

Re: Help! Ginger is loose
My baby ball made it out of the room.. down the hall... down the stairs around the corner and under the fridge.. it's wet and warm under there and safe. Other escapes are usually found in the room hidden.... so check your fridge. ... I didn't believe it either until. .. ta da.. there he was

Fortunately for me, my rack is in a closet that always remains closed so even though it was a PIA to get her out from behind the safe I was lucky to have a small space to search for her.
But on a more serious note, I cannot stress more what MarkS suggested. My friend had her boa in a less than adequate enclosure and when he escaped he was found wrapped up around a room radiator. The snake had severe burns on most of his body and had to be euthanized.

I usually find them behind some other tub, seeking warmth. Unfortunately this has led to them occasionally
opening the tub they are trying to squeeze behind, and letting another escape.
