I lost my BP! :(

i lost my snake for 3 weeks. pretty sure you can find the thread on it. it was quite a few pages long too. i striped my whole entire 2 story house down. turns out, 3 weeks later, my little brother found him in his room trying to get into a tank filled with mice. hang in there, he's close by im sure.

your shoes. check your shoes. they are always in your shoes.

found mine in my snowboard boots in the closet under some blankets.

best of luck.

you might find him on/inside/under:

a laundry basket, stereo recievers, box springs, pile of electrical cords from a surge protector (they can get warm when bunched together), under fridge, tv's, vcr's, dvd players, etc...

i've set my snake free in my room and 90% of the time he ends up under my computer tower (it's only got like a half an inch clearance under it, but it sure is nice and warm)

so if he gets out i know where i'm looking first.

good luck finding your snake... oh and if you start going crazy, look under cushions on your couch, in/behind suitcases, etc...

my friend actually found his inside his computer speaker. he was watching a dvd on his computer, and i guess the vibration from the speaker was not very pleasent for the snake and his snake shot out of the port on the side of the speaker. he said he died laughing.

good luck, and i'm sure your snake will be fine. you're pulling out your hair, and your snake is on a vacation :sunny:

I once found my baby BP wedged into the back side of a desk drawer.. we had to pull her out and her scales were damaged for 3weeks.

Well I have ripped apart my room. Pretty much covered every spot I can think of in my other room. I don't think it is in the third room because it has concrete floors with saw dust on the ground, so I think I would see some sort of trail. I don't think it would go upstairs because they are wooden floors and there would be 3 cats up there waiting for him.

I've read a little bit about this live mouse in a coke bottle trick. How exactly do I do this? My friend that works at a place where snakes get out all of the time also reccommended this to me.

There is a little door in my room that leads into the crawl space. My worst fear is that it fit through that crack and is outside somewhere :(

heh my first BP I had a long LONG time ago...Managed to get between the mirror and the wall it was mounted to in one of the bathrooms. There was just enough room for him to fit is skull through so I guess he figured he could fit. :rolleyes:

:taz: try checking under the fridge, sofa cushions, bathroom washer/ Dryer . Wait untill night time and along with a hide box with or without food, put a heating pad under a towel (folded over so it wont get too hot) in the corner of a room. then set your a/c to about 70 degrees.

The coke bottle method works as follows; get a clean plastic 2 liter soda bottle (obviously only works for small snakes) and the appropriate rodent. Cut the top quarter of the bottle off, throw in your feeder and then tape the top of the bottle back on backwards. You want the neck of the bottle to actually be inverted into the rest of the bottle. Tape it up where the edges meet. Just be VERY careful with the tape, make sure that no sticky parts are exposed! You might also try wrapping the bottle in dark paper or fabric to give it that safe hide effect. And you could also try putting a heat source close to it.

The bottle method works on the premise that the snake can easily get inside the bottle, but will not be able to find its way back out. That and your snake could also be too chubby with a full belly to get back out. ;)

Good luck!

Thanks for explaing that to me VroomVroom. I have one more question though. Would you suggest a dead or a live mouse?

Its very upsetting not knowing where my snake is this past week. I hope I find him soon.

No problem Zreon! Glad to help. As for live or dead, I'll leave that to the experts. I feed my Sinai live, but I suppervise his feedings. Leaving a live food item without you there for intervention is a bit risky. Maybe a moderater will have a good suggestion?
