    If it has not been lost for a long time, Most likely it is within a 3 ft radius of the enclosure. Check under and in everything in that area first...the bp may also seek warm spots so look near electronics.

    Hope you find the little one.

    They usually do not wonder off too far from their enclosures. Search at night. Leave water bowls so that she can drink. Sprinkle flour along your door ways so you know if she crosses rooms. Put plastic bags along the walls so you can hear her at night. Once again search at night and leave plenty of water! Good Luck! I once lost one of my bps only to find her again four months later. Keep ur hopes up!

    Re: Lost Ball Python

    yea my houdini loves to give me heart attacks, everything in his cage is as it should be and its completely secure, but somehow he seems to still get out every so often (hence the name Houdini ) hes normally under my couch or in our shoes, try checking those, for some reason they seem to love stinky feet smell!

    Re: Lost Ball Python

    look by your refrigerator and water heater. anything that puts off heat. when i was younger i found mine on a lower level then i had him right next to the refrigerator. careful if you move the fridge so you don't hurt her.

    Re: Lost Ball Python

    I've lost snakes before, only found one of them. Though the smaller they are the easier it is for them to get outside. How big is he/she?? Try staying up late with all the lights off, but one heat lamp and hang it off a chair near the floor so as to make a basking spot. You can use a smaller light to read by if you need, but no others!! Turn all the heat off and he/she will probably come. This is the only way I have ever found a snake that has been gone awhile.
