    One of my Ball Pythons escaped her enclosure.

    It was my fault of course. The lid wasn't on securely.

    I have turned my critter room upside down and inside out and Roswell is nowhere to be found.

    We've searched the nearby rooms too with no luck.

    It's amazing that a creature with no arms and legs can hide themselves so well.



    Wish us luck. I hope we find her before our dogs do.

    Well I wish I had some advice, but I don't. Good luck finding her! And lets hope if the dogs do find her thy won't eat her.

    Oh, and I've heard putting baby powder around the sides of rooms can help. So if he gets in it you can see whitch way he went.

    Maybe you can keep your doggies outside today or until you find Roswell? It happens to the best of us, unfortunately, but you should find her. Best of luck to you.

    Best way I've found is to place a couple secure, warm, humid hides around where you think she might be. You could also try scenting a trail around the room with a f/t rat & leave it in one of the hides.

    I've never tried the baby powder thing though I've heard a few success stories. It just helps you figure out where the snake is.

    Search immediately within a five foot distance from the immediate enclosure and work ur way around the wall, four feet up on to furniture and such. Check underneath fridge, and other applicances that radiate heat. Good luck! I know how frustrating this can be!
