Does snake urine/urate glow under black light?

I would try setting up a warm spot with a hide, scented with a mouse at least.

Just checking back to let everyone know that almost three months later, my friend found his snake! Despite renting a thermal imager, trying to use a blacklight, leaving out thawed mice to lure her, puling the house apart, dismantling electronics she could have gone into, and his wife booking someone to come in and dismantle their gas fireplace...... The missing BP was found last night, randomly chilling out next to another snake's tub. Likely now that the weather is cooling off, she was there for heat. She ate a mouse, had a little soak in a water dish, and appears to be healthy!!

Thanks again to everyone who had suggestions!! We are joking about getting her a little Hide And Seek Champion 2016 trophy.

Glad your friend found her. (:

I'm so glad your friend found his escapee!! Success stories like this always make me happy, and optimistic in case I ever lose a snake haha

This should almost be a sticky'd post. Reason being is that when new first time owners come in here looking for husbandry info and hearing from all the gurus that BP's are not as forgiving as others with bad husbandry and that temps and humidity need to be spot on for a happy and healthy BP, they are still a hearty species and can survive for a while in less than perfect conditions.

While the guru advice you will get here is accurate, should be followed and you need to get husbandry dialed in correctly, I know for myself being a new owner of just under 3 months, I drive myself nuts when the temp or humidity are off. It's good to know they can be somewhat hearty animals.

By the way I could be totally wrong but I wouldn't think a thermal imager would work well with cold blooded animals since they take the temp of their surroundings, where-as a warm blooded animal will have a different temp than the surroundings thus showing up on a thermal imager.

A completely unrelated note, but still on topic about black lights/uv lights. I have one and while I have no idea about that glowing. I have used the UV light to find scorpions and track down one that escaped it's enclosure.
