    warmed up the mouse again.,.. have it sitting in front of the fridge/oven in case he got in there

    stupid question but would he know to escape when I turned the oven on if he was in the oven ??? I'm just freaking out at the possibility..I heard nothing when I preheated it

    There's no better way to tear your house apart than when trying to find a lost snake...:( it's been years for me but I remember the panic too, they're much
    better at this than we are.

    No, probably not, sorry....that's how & why some snakes get horrible burns on "hot rocks" or other heat sources that aren't regulated...they over-stay & seem to be
    clueless until it's too late.

    ok minor good news?? i pulled out the stove and looked with my face against the floor. NO HOLES in the stove for him to climb into. that's win #1. so I don't think he's in the stove and died. I hope.

    second good ish news...there are cobwebs blocking the space to behind the fridge. old undesturbed webs. maybe that means he is not in the kitchen. or at least not in the appliances??

    still looking. all your good vibes and thoughts are so appreciated.

    yes definitely...if I don't find him by nightfall flour is going all over the kitchen to track if he IS in there...
    I wonder if our mattress has a hole we havent noticed. I have the rat sitting by the edge of the bed now. our bed is just a boxspring and mattress on the floor. if he wanted to go for warmth, he would go there as we were sleeping there last night. I can't pull out the boxspring and mattress myself so I'm going to have to wait until my partner is home in 1 hr.

    The other good news: this counts as your exercise "work-out" for today, lol... let's hope he stays out of the kitchen...any way to block it off? Never thought a cobweb
    would be "good news" eh? ;)

    Can he get between the mattress & box spring? Suggest you look before turning in tonight...also look under any couch cushions & such (before sitting!).
    Glad you'll have help in a little while...

    just looked. no luck. I am currently crossing my fingers that he is IN the box spring...I don't think there's a hole in it but you never know...I just wish I was strong enough to lift the damn mattress and box spring out. ack. going to keep trying.
