    Snakes seem to find holes in things...like the fabric lining under the bottom of beds or couches...don't know how they do it? Have you looked in shoes & boots sitting
    around...they like those too, lol.

    Just don't hurt yourself trying to lift too much, that won't help any one...if he's there now, he'll still be there in a little while...

    Check even in places where you think "there's no way" because they can squeeze themselves more than you would think. I found my girl had partially squeezed herself underneath some boxes and between some heavy frames. I hope your find yours soon!!

    I am truly at a loss. I just can't fathom where else he could be. no holes in the walls. no way to go upstairs. three tiny rooms and he's VANISHED..

    This might seem stupid but what kind of substrate do you have in his tub ? Newspaper ? Have you made sure he isn’t hiding somewhere in the cage and you didn’t over look him

    He's probably wearing a lampshade...or a purse, maybe a coat pocket???

    If he's still in the cage, I bet we hear the scream all the way from Canada...:rofl:

    aspen.. yeah when I was a kid I 'lost' a young corn but he was just tucked in a hide...no way he's in the tub. he is a big boy. and I believe we heard him escape last night and dismissed it as nothing..we heard the styrofoam propped around his tub fall over(it happens often) and dismissed it. why didn't I just check!!!! ack. Hindsight. you can see in my gallery on my profile how big he is compared to his enclosure.

    oops. nvm about the gallery. here he is a few months ago. forgot my pics didnt upload to the gallery correct..https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...om/d1axm1z.jpg

    so you can see...he is a big boy. no way he is lost in the enclosure sadly :(

    Maybe you'd better put a tracking collar on him when you finally get him back again? How long is he, about 3'?

    You also need to make SURE he cannot get out again...
