    Re: BP went into the TOilet?!?!?
    I know that it has been mentioned in the thread already, but did you get down on the floor in front of the bathroom cabinet and see if there is an opening under the ledge of the kick plate. A 500 gram snake can easily get through about a 2X2 hole. If there is a hole, the snake will be hiding behind the kick plate and under the cabinet bottom under the sink. There was someone on this forum that just went through this maybe two weeks ago and that was where they found their snake.

    The snake didn't go into the toilet. It would drown, and they don't like being underwater for any period of time. Try putting plastic bags around the room. You'll hear them if the snake touches them. Other than that, just look everywhere. Leave the enclosure open, sometimes they come back because it is warm.

    Check everything like they are saying.....ANYTHING with a gap in it, size doesn't matter right now. Just grab you a flashlight and look everywhere. I would also suggest what I have seen others say is to get some live food and put it in a container on the floor to try and lure the snake out to get it!

    Good luck, I hope you find your BP, if my spider ever got out I would flip out and cut my house into pieces looking for him haha

    OMG THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU TO EVERYONE.

    I waited till it got dark out and i snuck into the washroom. (I kept the door closed all day, because if she was in there she would stay there)

    I checked under the counter where the kick plate was and LO and BEHOLD i saw her pretty little face starring back at me.

    Right away she popped back in. The hole in the kick plate is literally 1.5" x 1"5 inches. I can't get to her without taking the counter apart so i'm waiting to lure her out.

    I promptly put down the toilet lid and stacked a heavy paint can on it for good measure. Opened the windows to make the washroom as cold as possible.

    I then set out several heat pads with hides on top of them. On one of them i left her tub with the lid open and a F/T mouse in it.

    For the cherry on top I placed a live mouse in a critter keeper.

    Hope she comes out soon!

    Thank you again to everyone! and everyone who suggested the kick plate.

    Isn't it just four screws to undo the kickplate? It seems to me like you're going through a whole lot of effort when you could get the snake out in 10 minutes.

    At best it is probably attached with finishing nails. At worst it could be glued. I doubt there is any heat source under there so it comes down to should you peel the face plate off or wait for her to come out on her own. What if it takes a week? If you peel the plate off it's a relatively simple and inexpensive repair and then you would have the relief of having your baby back safe in her home.
