Loose snakes

Over the six years that I've had Tuleo (My first BP) hes gotten out at least ten times. One time he got out while the babysitter was here (Luckily she wasnt TO afraid of snakes!) but my door was closed so he had to be in my room and I found him next to my dresser soon enough.
The last time he got out his cage is in our finished basement and we found him on the main floor of the house on the very top shelf of the bookshelf.

My brother's snake has gotten out a few times to and one time my dad reached into his desk droor to get a pen and instead pulled out a snake! It was like magic!
Another time we found him in the ceiling (Thats the only part of the basement thats not finished yet)! We had searched the WHOLE basement and we finally gave up and my dad looked up to think and there he was!

When my brother and sister had just gotten there first snakes my sister's got out and we couldnt find him for 2 months so my parents finally got her another one. Four days later we found her snake that went missing! Four days later! Then about a month later the second one that we got escaped and we never found him again.

Ever since we moved to the tubs we havnt had any get out though.;)

I've had two escape (one twice) and one get away from me.

The first was three years ago with a baby Cali. king. Put him in the feeding tub with lid, got bored (he was a nonfeeder that unfortunately didn't make it), walked away, came back, he was gone. LOL We searched all over the place, and then we finally looked under the dresser, which was like two feet away from the tub, with a flashlight, and there he was. It was such a miniscule gap, even seeing him was difficult, but we got lucky.

The second (and third) were both by my snow corn snake. The sliding screen was ripped a little when my fat cat sat on it one time, and my mom thought glue would hold it closed. Well, she was wrong. She (the snake :P) was found in the closet under some slippers. The second time he escaped was in a new lid, the kind that folds in half. Even with this heavy flourescent light fixture on top of it, he pushed up a corner and got out. I wake up the next morning, immediately see the corner pushed up a little, and I know exactly what happened. I check all around my room and I find him wedged in a PILLOWCASE, where he immediately started moving around.

Fourth, although not really an escape, was my sister's baby corn, which just went under the bed at 600 MPH and was recovered an hour later. LOL

i lost one of my white lipped pythons, still missing though, had him in a 10g at the time with screen and lock, but come to find out the glue holding the top tank ring on was no good and thats is how he went by-by.

not yet... i use my handy binder clips

luckily i havent had an escape but one time i caught my snake in the process of escaping lol after feeeding he started climbing out i had to use the restroom so i went then came back in and he was slithering towards under my bed lol he pushed the lid off the feeding pen

Um, what does "still on the lamb" mean?

Does it mean something like "Knocking on wood" or crossing my fingers and hoping it wont happen?

I jsut had a sanke get loose alittle corn...right after I posted above... Just my luck..lol. Im hoping I find him. Hes my buddy.

Our snakes have never attempted an escape. They're always outside of their cages most of the time. Our retic is a big boy, we let him out most of the time(but ofcours ehwile my Hubby and I are with eachother)and he just slithers around the house, but when we do let out our larger snakes we shut all bedroom and close all bathroom and closet doors. Its always easy to find a 14footer or our 9foot RTB. Because there is no hiding place thats not easy to find them at, lol.

"still on the lamb" on the loose, missing, avoiding capture.
