    Exclamation Help! BP escaped!!

    I just came home a few hours ago from being away since Friday afternoon and I realized by BP is gone. I have checked all of the rooms in the house extensively and I still cant find him. I am freaking out right now and I'm so sad that I might not find him. Does anyone have any tips on how to find him?

    They usually don't travel far. Where do you keep him, in a bed room? Check closets thoroughly! Those are always dark and usually contain a tight crevice for them to feel protected in. Also check for cracks between furniture or cabinets that they can squeeze through and have a nice spot to hid in.

    My old garter snake (way different snake) would escape for days at a time, but would always come back to her cage after a few days when she was hungry. Have patience, you'll find your pet eventually!

    If you have folded up blankets check in those
    you can also put his/her hides out in the room and it'll most likely recognize them and go in them

    When mine escaped, I laid out aluminum foil across the doorways. The crunching sound woke me at 5am, and there she was!
