Balls are shy so he will avoid the open part of the room.Keep us posted

i will. but im starting to lose hope here. on top of all this, i have work at one hour. :(

I totally feel what you are going through. My little bubble gum corn escaped about a week ago. She is very shy so I am sure that she has found somewhere to curl up and hide, but I can't find where that is. She is about 2 feet long but fairly slender so she can fit into very small places. :(


Definately try looking with a flaslight at night. Look in dark small places. I've heard of snakes showing up in shoes, gym bags, under kitchen appliances where it is warmer, bathrooms, pretty much anything is fair game. I have also heard of snakes that have gone missing for weeks and even months and then randomly showing up again so don't give up hope yet!

well i want to look more but i have to go to work :( i get attached to animals very easily lol. its my soft side. so i feel really really bad that i lost him. i should be home from work sometime after 10 pm, ill be up all night if i have too. i miss my little buddy!!! thanks for your support everyone. and best of luck to you critterlover.

Is there anyplace you may have missed? One of mine got out years ago and she was wedged underneath our sofa, in the frame; had to take it apart to get her out! (it was one of those recliner sofas.)
Tiny, tiny places are where you need to look..
I seriously wish you luck; I have had escapees back in the day, and I know that feeling you get.. remember we all make mistakes and I hope you find him.

well its about 12 hours since he's been missing, im physically exhausted from crawling around , bending, lifting. im worried for it too. guess ill just have to give it time now.

How long have you had him and how often to you handle him? When my son's favourite (and first Cornsnake Kai) got out of her viv, my son turned his room upside down. I told him to look round about his bed. About 12 hours later, he finally decided to look under his bed...and there was Kai. My son has handled her frequently since the day he got her as a tiny baby so I figured she may well be where the scent of my son is quite strong. She was.


BPs are nocturnal so you could try putting some flour round about the edges of the room and across the door entrance so you can trace where he's gone.

Here's a link which gives lots of helpful tips on finding a lost snake.

Hope you find this helpful and I really hope you find your snake.

any luck yet?

what worries me is its been bout 14 hours now, and all the doors in my two story house have big gaps under the doors. i do handle him quite frequently. but hes nowhere around the bed. im fixing to just leave a mouse in a plastic, ventilated container in the middle of the room because mondays are his feeding days. that website gave me some good ideas. wish me luck. ill be up all night.

i havent read the 2nd page of this so i dont know if hes been found yet but i wouldnt worry too much... more than likely hes within 10 feet of his enclosure and youll find him when you least expect it.... i searched every inch of every room for 2 days... when i finally took a break and sat on the couch mine crawled across my floor..
