One Of My Bp's Has Gone Missing!
Heres how it went,
I went over to check on my adults bp's like i do every morning, and i noticed my male 100% Het albino was gone!!! I checked all the other tubs to see if i may have paired him and forgot, but he wasnt in any of those tubs either! He must of somehow pushed his way out! He is about 1,000 grams, and got out in my room. I checked under my bed, inside the box spring under my bed (there was a small rip in it, so i ripped the whole thing open..., in my closet, in the radiator, my drawers, but still no sign of him! I sticked two medium heat pads to a 32 qt lid, and plugged them in, hopefully this will attract him...... Any tips? Btw, my room is upstairs, not downstairs, could he have gone down the stairs?

he may be much closer than you think...don't give up hope you will find him

Lay a f/t rat on the heated lid.
Re: One Of My Bp's Has Gone Missing!
Yes, he could have gotten downstairs. My super pastel got out of his - I admit, not very secure - quarantine box. Luckily Sammy, our cat, found him and screamed up a storm (he's very protective of our snakes ... I'm not kidding!).
Tips: Crinkle paper on the floor and keep an ear open, flour dusting the floor to figure out from where he's coming/where he's going, dead rat on top of the heat mat, lots of patience and good luck!
Hope you find your escape artist soon!

Thats a great idea, im definately going to try it.
Re: One Of My Bp's Has Gone Missing!
What FatBoy said. I'm sure he will come up Brandon. Also check in very close places. (behind the rack, ect.) Good Luck! (:
Re: One Of My Bp's Has Gone Missing!
Good luck. One of my boys got out just earlier this week (due to my own personal stupidity). I searched and searched but did not find him. I could barely sleep and I heard a noise. Somehow he had gotten on top of my dresser in my bedroom (2 rooms away from the snake room) and was pushing everything off of it. I think he was trying to get my attention :)
Try the tips people have given here and be patient. Right now he's probably hiding somewhere comfy.

Okay guys im extremly happy right now! I just found my Bp. I decided to check behind my tv stand in the radiator thing, b/c i didnt recall checking there.. I felt the bottom, and all i felt was metal, then i felt the top and got spooked b/c i felt something soft and pulled my hand out LOL Then i looked closer, and THERE HE WAS! I took some pics too lol
Heres him in the radiator thing:

Alright! :banana: I knew you would find him. In that picture he looks like as if he's thinking : "Uh-oh, I'm in trouble now!"
Now go get the chains, ratchet tie-downs, pad locks and whatnot to turn that enclosure into a Ft. Knox security facility. ;)
