i circled the hole he was in, the only reason i found him is i heard some thing in the box and when i was moving around in it he popped out of the hole lol

I've read alot of snakes don't go much further than 5 ft from their enclosure, so look near there first. Then move on to clothing drawers.

ive heard that to, my box was like 8 feet away from my rack

Put flour around the doorways and sides of your rooms before night-time. When you wake up examine them all to get an idea of where he's moving around to.

If it's trained well, you can try calling it's name.

If not, put it's favorite hide near the cage that it escaped from, and check in there often.

Have you found him yet?

I'm waiting for you to say you did.

I say you find him no later than Monday night.

I'm putting 5 mice on it.

Anyone care to call?

do you have mice in your home? go and look where the most mice are or where it smells like mice. check in you stove 2

To give you some ideas on where to look, here's where I have found mine - during escapes (Delilah escaped twice before moving into a tub) and supervised "roaming time," when I actually knew where they were...

- Top of a very tall bookshelf
- Squished behind the dresser wrapped in wires
- Inside my soft guitar case, behind a chair in the living room (they always go there when I let them roam)
- Inside a box
- Under a bookshelf
- Actually in the wall, due to an unknown (and tiny) hole under the wall-unit

They like warm, dark spots, the tighter the better, and will typically move around at night... so if you haven't found him yet, it might be time for an all-night vigil. Using the prey to coax them out works sometimes, if they're close enough to smell it - that worked when Mona got into the wall, but unfortunately she kept darting back in since I was watching. :rolleyes: Good luck, and I hope you find him soon - if you haven't already!

well i havent found rambo yet. i put his hide box on the shelf where his enclosure is and put a heat light there too hopefully he's around theroom somewhere lol and hopefully he doesnt get ahold of the cat. he should be pretty hungry by now!
