    Missing ball python
    My baby ball python escaped her enclosure last night, I put a hide and a mouse under a heat lamp for her to hopefully make her way to but after leaving it overnight have had no luck. I’ve been searching for her but I still haven’t found her and I am getting really worried :/ does anyone have any tips on how to find her?

    keep your search close to the enclosure. escaped beeps usually don't get farther than 10ft away from their enclosures. also, keep your "trap" close to the enclosure as well.

    look LITERALLY everywhere. look even in places you don't think the snake could be, as that should be the first place you look. they're masters at hiding. look along the walls as well.

    you can try the flour trick: lay down trails of flour around the room and look for tracks. not the cleanest method but it's something people have had success with before.

    Yes exactly like tttaylorrr said look everywhere even places that "seem" too small. When mine got out I found him under the tank right under the uth which I overlooked at first because I didn't think he would fit!

    they are super tricky ninja mofos. :ninja: I have lost one once, and he was hiding in a ridiculous place (right near his enclosure, as Tttaylorrr said). I looked in th place he was hiding like 3 time and didn't even see him as he was ninja-ing it up so hard.

    Any luck finding her? Fingers crossed!
