Re: Escape artist.
My female escaped on me once, in the winter. I had 2 10lbs dumbells on the top of the tank, and she was able to lift the lid off and get out in the middle of the night. I searched everywhere. It was cold in our house so i figured she was a gonner after 3 days. I gave up. After about a week i noticed my dog making a wierd noise. I went to check it our and there she was curled up on my dogs bed keeping warm pressed up against my rottweiler. The dog wasn't afraid or trying to eat it, she aws making little wineing noises tryting to get my attention. All in all she was gone for over a week and i found her, she must have been in the walls or under the floor boards or something, but she came back. Sorry to hear you are going throught the mental turmoil i went throught, but i hope this stoyr gives you hope.

Re: Escape artist.
i almost wonder if keeping a live mouse on the floor in one of your rooms, in a cage of course would lure the snake out of hiding. Or maybe set up a nice warm spot with a heating pad and cool down your house.

Re: Escape artist.
Well I am positive she got outside. I literally when box by box, drawer by drawer and took everything out of my room. She wasnt inside, behind, or on top of anything. If she got outside then she is gone. One of my neighbors is like a hermit and their backyard is literally a freaking forest(cant even walk in it) and the other has lots of dogs (mean dogs) :( I have been going out at night and searching for her and I actually tried the mouse thing and didnt work. (I bought 8 mice and put each in a little tuperware thing with holes then sprinkled talcum powder around to see if anything came to investigate and nothing. Oh well if I find her I find her not the end of the world. I wish I wasnt a moron and left the latch open I am normally very paranoid and check several times but didnt this time. :(

Mine escaped last month while I was on vacation. I had the neighborhood over here, looking. Couldn't find George. 2 days home, I found him in my sons toy box, curled up in a ball hiding.
