    Mine got out when I left the door open. Ops.

    I found her on the TOP shelf of the closet behind some games, which means she climbed up the vacuum, up and over the hanging clothes onto the shelf.

    I would have never looked on the shelf had she not knocked something off the shelf onto the floor.

    Before I knew him my boyfriend's bp got out and he found her IN a duffel bag on the top shelf of his closet. Moral of the story is not look EVERYWHERE. If you can I'd try to search one room really really well and then sequester your cat in there. You don't want him finding them first. Check close to the cages really thoroughly and just take everything apart.

    Check under dirty clothes or in your drawers. Usually that is where mine flock to if they release themselves.

    Most likely there bear the Rack. My house is colder except my room which stays at about 85.. when I was going shots to one snake another escaped, look for him for ten minutes And it turns out he was on my stereo speaker looking at me like "hahaha!! I fooled you!" He was go w 2 hours and only went 5 feet.

    This is why I love my Burmese... he doesn't hide when he roams, he stays in the middle of the room and says "you want me back!? Come get me then!!"

    Luckily I've only had my BP "escape" once. I hope you fond yours!

    First off, I wish you luck finding them.

    And once you have located them, and they are safe and sound, I would like to revisit why you have them housed together, and why you let your cat play with them.

    My recommendation is that if you have time, start with each room in the house one by one.

    Start possibly with the room that he is in, and then keep moving out. It's going to take a day or two, but it may work!

    Put the cat in a secure location where s/he can't affect your search, and just start. Start at one corner of the room, and move everything. Clothes in shelves, dressers. Just keep moving and replacing everything, checking every nook and cranny. If they're somewhere in the house, I'm sure you'll find them. Just don't think something too small to look in. The best way to know whether you've looked everywhere it to treat the search like a thorough spring cleaning. Once you're done one room, try and make it impossible for the snake to slither into that room, and go on to the next.

    It'll take time, but it should be effective, in theory. It's the approach that I would use.

    If you still can't find them, try to leave a nice warm place for them to return to, with hides. Hopefully you can find one!

    We lost a snake in our pet shop before I arrived there, and where it was impossible for us to basically tear the place apart, apparently they found the snake a year later. In a pet shop, he was fat! But just keep hope! You'll find them.

    I'd crate Mr. Kitty while I was at work and out of the house if I were you. Good luck, has to be a nerve wracking experience :/
