    ok i checked under the stove...nothing. he couldnt go under the fridge because there's no gap but behind is a potential?? if he would go that far...seems awfully long to travel across a cold cold tile floor. but how would i move the fridge to check???

    sorry for the panic and quick replies. checked the closet 1/2 and it's no luck. have had the rat on an air heater for 20 min in this room with no luck...going to put it in the kitchen by the fridge

    ok question. if he found our screen door, would a snake purposefully go outside into the freezing cold weather if he had the chance??? our screen isn't SUPER tightly secured and we left the door cracked overnight. I really really doubt they would willingly go into super cold temps..right???

    "How to move the fridge to check?" very carefully! but use a mirror to look behind if you can, first. Kitchens are very dangerous for snakes, let's hope he's
    not there. Remember that snakes instinctively avoid being out in the open...are you sure you looked all around his cage? someone recently found their snake
    (BP, I think?) in an ENVELOPE under the cage...LOL! Very creative creatures...

    No, I don't think so...they ARE attracted to outside fresh air, but don't think the cold would appeal one bit.

    I'm pretty sure there is nowhere for him to go immediately out of his tub. He is a VERY brave and adventurous snake. When I have him out, he doesn't ball up..he goes exploring everywhere. Not even to dark spots. I've always loved him for that but god damn if I'm not wishing he was shy now.

    please excuse the mess. here are photos of his tub and surrounding area.

    I have checked everywhere around the tub I can think....

    Those floor heaters you have that front actually comes off and thier is a bunch of open space for air to move over the coils cause it’s heat by hot water. I’d pop that off and have a look in thier lots of space In thier for him to get. Just be careful lots of sharp metal in thier.

    Yes, I'd head for the floor heater if I was a snake too- ;) I sympathize with your panic, hope you find him soon, and SAFE, the little brat. :snake:

    no luck...does not seem ours come off. and I checked the whole length...for once I'm kind of glad we SUCK at cleaning because the whole thing is covered in dust and spiderwebs(like I said, have not used the heaters this year yet) so I don't THINK he went there. the dust would be disrupted, no?? still looking :(
