Well it's Finally Happened.. An Escapee.
I've always dreaded this day. I am so bummed. :(
My little Pastel girl, Amber had escaped yesterday. I guesss she was just small enough to squeeze out of my hatchling rack.
I am definitely going to watch my gap space when I build my hatchling racks more closely. I didn't take into account that the Sterilite tubs "tip" because of the bow at the bottom of each tub, thus creating just a tiny gap big enough for a small BP to get out if enough pressure is applied. Of course I realize this after it's too late.
I tore the room apart, looked all over the house. I have pretty much given up hope.. I am just going to wait and see what happens now.
I have plastic bags taped all over the place and have 4 traps out right now with live bait in them..
She is a mere 53 grams and has only had one meal her entire life. Please send me good vibes in hopes of finding her.
I had a lot of plans for her.. She was gorgeous.

What do you mean traps with live bait? They are sneaky little suckers , they always seem to be in the weirdest spoots like back of fridge, under dryer,freezers, heat vents. They love the warm spots , but the warm spots aren't easier for us to get too !!! hope you find her good luck!!!!

This same thing happened to me and it resulted in me taking apart the whole rack and fixing it. Every time they escaped I was able to find them within 5 min or so. I would look in every single tight spot out can find withing an 10ft radius. Look in the rack as well, maybe it slithered in with another snake? When I was fixing it I had one escape and it was just wedged in one of the slots of the rack.

They really don't travel far - look in places you don't think she could possibly be - including right under the rack - physically move it. Look near and around the other tubs in the rack near the heat.
