Finding a burrowed snake

Many people have trouble finding a snake that is digging in bedding, so this is a step to step guide on finding their pet.


In aquariums and terrariums:

1.Take off the lid

2.Remove furniture (Hide, water dish, plants, etc.)

3.Get a plastic bag

4.Slowly grate and jiggle the bedding into the bag, and soon, your snake is in your hand.


In plastic tubs and containers:

This is easier, 2 steps


1.Lift up the and look through the bottom for the digging snake.

2.Take out the portion of bedding in that area,and WHAM!

Never realized this was an issue...

What happened to moving the substrate to expose the snake...

Lol. I poke my fingers down and when I feel a coil I wipe off the substrate in that area.

But I guess this guide works too

Finding my Kenyan Sand boa is more difficult, but that method just makes things hard.. sift around with your fingers until you find it?

WHAT??? :weirdface

It usually is for me, I gotta do this almost every time. My Taiwanese Beauty Ratsnake is a champion digger, and any vibration will make her move to a different spot, so this gives burrowing snakes nowhere to run. But use this method only if you have the same situation as I do,

what if the snake darts out into the bag?
how about onto the floor?
