    NOO! 44g Carpet Python ESCAPED!
    Went to feed last night and noticed my little noodle wasn't in her tub :( I've been away for a day so it's possible she's been out over 48 hours so far, been turning my room upside down but no luck so far, I have 4 soda bottle snake traps to set tonight, 2 by the rack, 1 in the corner of my room, and another in the bathroom (if she seeks out water).

    She is so tiny I had a water snake that big escape once and never return so I don't have very high hopes right now. :( There was literally a 1/5" gap above the tub I didn't think her face was big enough to squeeze through but I guess so.

    My brother had two hatchling bp escape back in February. Found the female in the house behind a fish tank and the other well funny story, my mother terrified of snakes was cleaning the yard and lifted up a cooler on its aide with the lid lightly open and when the lid fell off out popped a baby male bp. :) she was not too happy when she found him. She said she almost had a heart attack. So there is hope. Look under stove fridge and anything with a motor and that might have heat.

    I suggest leaving out rats (alive or prekilled) and that may bring him out.
    I've heard of missing snakes turning up when someone was feeding their other snakes.

    Places that you can check, check behind and around:

    refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, washer, dryer, dressers.

    Those are places that stay dark. Then you can check under sofas and beds. What you can do if you know somebody that has a snake camera that has a light so you don't have to rip the bottom cover thing. The snake thing can go in and look around.

    Also your lower cabinets have holes in them so it could be under the cabinets. This snake cam thing they use to like go down clogged drains will be able to check all those spots.

    Hope you find her! I'd definitely scour the rack and all your other reptile tanks/tubs etc. We found our escapee under a shelving unit that we had our rat cages on which was two feet from her tub.

    Still MIA... Don't think I'm going to find her :/
    Baited traps set all over the house for days and still nothing, PLUS 4 cats roaming around who don't finish anything they kill so I would know if they got to the snake.

    Don't give up hope. Lay flour lines across doorways, discrete floor UTH hotspots, anything which would attract an opportunistic cold blooded animal. If you read some of the recovered escape threads across the boards you'd be shocked at how long people have gone and succeeded and with which methods had results, just keep your head up and stay persistent.

    The food idea worked for me. My daughter had a black and white mouse and my escaped white corn was in its cage with a very visible black and white mouse in its tummy. Put a loose top aquarium with a little feeder in it and a warm hide and see what happens. It took weeks to find her, and she found herself. It totally traumatized her LOL. Now she laughs about it.
