MISSING?

This is a pretty good article on finding a lost snake:

i have heard of people stealing snakes, but i seriously dpubt thats it...just keep looking. i hope you find him. id be heartbroken if i couldnt find rex

I've had one go missing for two months and show back up, about 9 years ago now. Just don't give up!

No luck this morning. I laid out 5 F/T rats around the house. I used baby powder to try and see if he is moving. Nothing so far.

Just don't give up. My last escapee got caught slithering across my foot late at night maybe 6' from his enclosure after going missing for two weeks or so.

Check up inside and behind things where you normally wouldn't think of looking for a lost something. Don't just look IN the drawers, but pull them out and look behind them. And behind the dressers and appliances. I saw a picture someone posted once on another forum...he'd found his lost snake wedged up behind the toilet! It was totally invisible from anywhere in the bathroom, unless you pressed your face to the wall and looked straight down behind the tank. Don't give up. The time of year helps, too. It's unlikely that he'll get dangerously cold like he might in the winter.

should I continue the same thing each night??

I wouldn't worry about him being ou to for to long since I know of a person that lost their snake and didn't find her until 5 months later when they decided to remodel their bathroom and she ended up under niethe the sink(almost under the house). She was just fine and returned to her home.

good luck

I hope your right. We miss him

Last night at 2:00 am my wife and I were awakened to a cabinet door closing. I jumped out of bed and ran around like a mad man. I looked in the upstairs bathroom and there he was. I was amazed. He made it up the stairs and into a place we have all been in many times since his escape. I picked him up, boy was he jumpy. He seemed a bit startled. I got him back in and fed him. He ate like a champ, 3 F/T rat pups.

I noticed his behavior was strange. His poture was different than I have ever seen before. He was a little scratched up, a couple scales seemed to be really rough. I am going to let him be for the next two days and then take him out and inspect him more. Thanks for everyones help.

Any suggestions??
