Kenyan Sand Boa Disappeared!

When my KSB escaped about 2 years ago, I found her underneath the bottom level of the rack under where the heat tape is...Might be a good place to check, also at the back of the shelf that the tub is on in the rack.

If there is any noticeable gap, don't put it past him to squeeze through. My new baby male KSB has cardboard shoved under his tub in a rack system to keep it tight fitting. I have soldered air holes into the tub to allow enough air flow, but I'm not taking risks with a snake the size of my pinky finger in width.

I ratchet strap Kenny's tub :D

Ya gotta do what ya gotta do! :gj:

Sounds familiar Sir Herp! It will be 2 weeks today that my little beloved Trans-Pecos rat snake disappeared from his enclosure and I am still beating myself up today for not double checking his latch on his doors. I know the feeling, BELIEVE ME!
I tore up my apartment looking for him and have laid down hides on top of heat mats as well as placed water bowls around but still no luck.... I know I should keep the faith but I am losing hope day by day!
I have said to myself, maybe if I just stop wishing for him to turn up or just admit he is long gone then he might reappear....Is that wishful thinking though??? :hmm:

I recently got a tiny snake back ..
I just put a little viv with the door I open on the corner on the floor of the snake room .. I had a heat mat underneath and a tiny bowl of water .

It reappeared two weeks later , I found it one morning ( after I'd given up) or was asleep over the heat mat

UPDATE: My parents found him today while I’m at school. He was in my sister’s bedroom (across the hall). I didn’t think he could’ve gone that far! Also, I had been stuffing towels under my door, so I assume he must have left before I noticed he was gone. I’ll update again when I get home on weight and everything. As for where to put him, my mom is watching him now, and I intend to keep him in an extra 10 gal that we have in the basement, and weigh down the top just in case! I’m very excited to have him back!

Where exactly did your mother find the snake? (In a box, under something, in a tiny hole in the wall..ect) Just curious! Still holding out to find my little noodle..maybe one day?
