    same thing happened to me when i was like 16. Bp got out of its tank and was lost in my room. All i did was put a mouse in its tank with the screen open turned the lights off and went off to hockey only to have a voice mail from my mom that they had checked if he came out and sure enough he did to feed and they took the mouse out and put him back. Good luck on your find . This year one of my normals got out and she went right over to the desktop computer and was fast a sleep on top of it haha

    Also you can lay some news paper or something down...sprinkle flour on it to see if the snake is active in that area....if you have a tile floor in the kitchen or etc....cover the ENTIRE FLOOR! ha ha ha

    Thanks everyone for your replies, I'm trying a bunch of different things, but still Im gonna have to wait till darkness falls. She is the definition of a typical BP, hide during light and come out in almost complete darkness.

    I just hope I will find her before I have to return the appartment. :please:

    I am sorry to hear about your loss....

    If there is anything that I have noticed about finding lost snakes, is that when you stop looking for them they tend to appear.

    I would try heat and water. They may not want to feed as they are streesed when lost. Most will seek out a water source. Good Luck I hope you find her before you have to move.

    sorry you lost your buddy, I agree with setting heat traps, i would guess that would be the best way to do it, rather than food traps. Either way, good luck finding your BP :(

    Sincere sympathies. I know she's a special girl. Everyone has posted excellent suggestions. I would just add don't forget to look up--like on the shelves in your closet, or some out of the way higher place. Sometimes they will crawl up and hide in the dark. This guy I know, who has lost a few snakes, usually finds them tucked away in his closet.

    Hoping she'll slither up soon!
