Lost baby python! I'm freaking out! Help!

I'm going to have to say go with glue traps and plenty of them. make sure you tack or tape them down so if it does get caught up in it, it can't carry it around and get itself in more trouble.
If and when you catch it, you can use a hairdryer to warm up the glue a little (from underneath) and make freeing the snake easier.

I'll give the glue trap a try in everywhere but the attic, since that would be a pink fluffy mess, ha ha.

Also, I'm not sure how long ago it was since his last meal, since I literally got him on Saturday evening. I was trying to give him his space for one day, and I was then surprised by finding my little girl slithering along the hallway. I was like, "Is that Salona?" For a second I thought I was imagining it, then I realized I wasn't and grabbed her, transferred her to a better, bigger tub, and went absolutely crazy as I searched for the other missing boy. I have torn up the upstairs part of the house and went inside-wall/attic/roof exploring.

Thanks everyone for the advice.

I have to admit though, I never thought that I could feel so much pain. I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep for months. :sniff:

All I have left of him is his shedded skin... At least I know his eyes are clear, and that my humidity is good. :worry:

I dont think glue traps are a very good idea for trying to catch a snake i think it would probly mess up some scales. have you had you hand/finger to 1 it probably wasnt nice imagine on a snake getting his head stuck :colbert:

DO NOT DO A GLUE TRAP. Are you nuts, Robin? It's a good way to rip the scales off the snake's belly and open him up for infection and death. If the snake goes onto it head-first, he's going to get his neck stuck first, try and pull away, and hurt itself. Please don't put down any sort of sticky trap, Jenna.

Okay, thanks, I'll cancel that idea. I guess I'm just so desperate to find him. I'm still tearing up the rest of the house in case he didn't go into the attic.

Maybe some painter's tape or something that is less sticky might work to replace glue traps?

Don't use any sort of tape. It's not recommended to be used in more controlled environments like a tank or tub because serious harm can come to your snake as it tries to get itself free or you try to get it free (I think I remember somebody's snake lost an eye because of an incident with tape). Try more of the bottle traps but please no tape anywhere.

for an attic id probably place a couples shoe boxes in different spots with pinkies or something to attract the snake maybe it will find its way in 1 of those shoe boxes. just be patient

UPDATE:
I have so far eliminated all of the upstairs areas, except for the attic, and I'm going to just keep searching. Do you think it is possible he went down two flights of stairs? I mean, he was really tiny, and the stairs are pretty slippery. I thought it was unlikely, but I'd like to hear your opinions.

I might go back into the attic and just slowly check every, single area I see until dawn if I have to. Right now I just going to go make a bunch of shoe box hiding areas/bottle traps with pinkies to put around the attic while I search.

Thanks for all the support and for keeping me sane during this crazy night.

It's very possible. If you think you can get away with it, put plastic bags over doorways so you can hear when/if he moves over them. I also thought of a place where he might still be in the attic. Did you check the eaves? Where the slope of the inside of the roof meets the 'floor' of the attic? He might have gotten himself into a corner. Check near heating vents. Remember: he'll go somewhere warm and tight.

Also, check his tub again. Check all over the rack, check all the heat tape, check behind the rack and on top and everywhere. Check your female's tub. There's no telling where he's managed to go.
