I have (someone had to get rid of) a very young opal corn (12 inches long, about the diameter of a pencil )that got out of the enclosure about three weeks ago. I have checked closets, dressers, baseboards, desk drawers, shoes, and along the base boards. I fear he has gotten under the house. I have read several sources with recommendations about retrieving him, but so far nothing has worked (pinkie in a coffee can with a hole in the lid, heating pad under a dresser, running a dead mouse along the base board and looking along that area late nights, etc. Any suggestions?
