My young ball python Pillow I got a few weeks ago escaped tonight and I believe it was my fault since I was moving some things around for my new crested gecko's enclosure to be at. I could have possibly left her drawer cracked and she escaped hours maybe minutes before I woke up. Of course I panicked when I saw an empty log and she wasn't in the leaves so I started to move things around.
After getting some help from my little brother we found her under one of the house heaters which I expected would be a place where she would just plop down at. The heaters weren't on when I got her so she wasn't burnt but she was in a spot where the mice in our house usually hang out in my room. Though I hadn't really seen or heard any since I put bits of her shed over there to possibly keep them out of my room. She wasn't curled up in a ball at all and when I picked her up she had a bump which worried me because she could have possibly ate a mouse or it was the F/T small mouse from 4 days ago. I didn't really handle her at all since the feeding to tonight and I was very worried because its my first snake escape, I've had a leopard gecko escape and multiple anole escapes but they always stayed next to or a few feet by the enclosure.
Pillow is about 19 inches in length and is 110-150g.
She was also outstretched like she was moving or about to and wasn't curled up. She does move around just a little bit after eating then curls up.
