Needle, meet haystack...

Panic: \ˈpa-nik\ noun

Acute extreme anxiety experienced when you realize your 9 year old daughter's 17g corn snake is not in its tank, and you'll be tearing apart your apartment looking for it, even though you realize you probably will never find it.

Best of luck

Oh man, that sucks. I hope you find the little guy.

Ooh Jeeze, good luck! Mine got lost when he was about that size, we found him. Leave a heat pad (regulated) out with a hide on it in a secluded area. Even better if you can have a few in different areas.

A tip that I've used and is common when corn babies get loose is to use painters tape (the type that peels off the wall easily) and lay it sticky side up against the walls and across the doorways of the room. It will stick enough to hold the baby in place but not enough to hurt them. You take the ends and fold them down so they are stuck to the floor but the strip is sticky side up. Corns tend to stick along walls and under furniture. The across the door idea is to keep them from leaving the room. You can also use a heat source to lure them to it but you do NOT want them to be stuck on/under the heat source on the tape (so I didn't use one to catch my guy). You also do not want to allow any predators such as cats and dogs to be around it because if the baby gets caught, it won't be able to escape the predator.

If you try this, I recommend checking the tape a few times a day. I caught my guy at night and he was wrapped up nicely that morning. A little olive oil (just a precaution) and he was free. He was only 4g. at the time and the piece that caught him was the one that went along the back of the sofa against the wall. Prime area for them to be moving along.

Good luck on getting your baby back and just remember that they can climb and will be looking for a dark place. Laundry baskets, inside furniture, and around computers are great places for them to go hiding.

The cat found mine behind the DVDs. (Alive, unscathed)

So check your shelves.

This happened to me in December with a 25ishg corn. After two weeks of searching for him I assumed that my cats had eaten him. After two months he showed up in the middle of my living room perfectly fine. They're pretty hardy. I had fully given up - we were so happy when he suddenly appeared . Best of luck fining yours!

use a heat source with a hide over it and sprinkle flour or powder on the floor around it, you can also try adding a prey item in there as well...

All of the above, lights off, heat pad, hide with a pinky in it, and flour around it to see if it's gotten in without resetting the whole thing. It works! My corn is living breathing proof.

Any luck with this now that it has been a month?
