    no luck here either. I was hoping yours would be a easy find.

    No sign of her anywhere. Pennies not disturbed. Cats and dogs not acting weird. I'm trying to stay hopeful it's 10 days tomorrow she is gone and Monday its 14 days since she ate.

    I've had a couple of escapes. Both were found only 5ft from the tubs. One was in a sub woofer and the other was in the plastic legs of the rack system. They usually don't go very far. It took us 2 days to find one that was only 2ft from her tub. Don't give up she will turn up.

    My ball escaped for 3 days. I set up it's heat lamp and put a F/T mouse in a Premium Plus cracker box with a hole cut in the end. I got rid of the mouse before I went to bed, and found him crawling along the floor boards to the box the next day when I go home from school. I've heard stories of people finding their snakes INSIDE mattresses and couch cushions. He'll turn up. They always do.

    Thanks for the replies. We put the bottle traps up in 4 different areas upstairs with a f/t pinkie. Fingers crossed it works.

    I just recently found a BP that i chalked up as either dead or thrown away by accident, as i have a huge garbage can next to the racks in the BP room. We found him in the basement by the hot water heater with a fresh shed right next to him , he was gone for two months. i ripped my house apart for 2 weeks until my sister said "why would they climb up when they would go down into rat holes and such they arnt very arboreal". minutes later we found him. It also happened with a Female Lesser we have she was gone for 6 Months. We found her on top of the porcelain toliet of all places. They will turn up , even as frustrating and as disappointing as it may feel.

    you could also put a couple of hides on the floor with her food in, sometimes they will smell the food and eat it then go to sleep in the hide. good luck with your search.
