How The ??????

How in the world do you lose a 6ft boa constrictor?? I've had him for about 4 years now and he's gotten out a couple times. Every single time he goes under the couch.

Well I've tore up my entire apartment looking in every single spot I could possibly think of. I can understand losing your car keys or a wallet but..... A6FT BOA CONSTRICTOR. Unreal! Haha I can't believe this!

I can just picture myself waking up to gettin choked out lol

I hope he didn't get outside :(

Did he go into the couch? I had a hamster that did that >.<

In addition to checking in and under everything make sure you check all the shelves and ledges, especially in closets and such. Good luck!!!

I have had luck catching escapee's by putting a rat in a tupperware in the room that the animal was lost in.... I usually find em trying to get in with the food.....

Have you had any luck yet?

Although I probably wouldn't want it to actually happen, it sounds pretty fun to be on a scavenger hunt for a six-foot snake :D

Nope no luck yet. I gave up on looking. I've checked every single spot I could think of. I'm hoping I just catch him wondering around.

I had a 3ft cornsnake get out about a month ago and I ended up finding him about a week later. I went to clean a tub in my 41qt rack and he was up in the back of it.

have you tried securing the enclosure better?

Yea I fixed the latch on the door because thats how he used to get out and now he decided to just bust a hole right through the screen.

Have you tried leaving a bowl of water out? I would think a snake would get thirsty before they would get hungry...

Well I was sitting on my couch downloading the new software to my iphone and I happened to glance over at the kitchen. I noticed that there is like a 2" gap between the dishwasher and the counter-top. I thought to myself, man it sure would be hilarious if he was in there because that is literly the only place in the entire house that I haven't looked. I walked over and peeked in and couldn't help but laugh. Hope you enjoyed the pics as much as I did.

how does that even workout 6 foot snake has to be about 4 or 5 inches around how can he fit in there thats hilarious but it is a very good spot hot, humid, dark, and cramped perfect for a snake well congrats on finally finding him

Thats just hilarious

All six feet of him! That's pretty good.

Now the question becomes how are you going to get him out of there? :P

I had a corn snake escape once. She was gone for over a week and one day my boyfriend gets in the shower and half way through showering he starts yelling for me to come here. So I walk in and there he is, with the water still running, and the curtain open, holding the corn snake. It was hilarious. She musta been real thirsty.

Glad you found your baby :)

Yea so because of the hot water line hooked to the dishwasher I could only slide it out halfway. After about an hour of tug-a-war I finally showed him who's the rooster of this hen house.

Not quite a baby lol but I'm definitely glad I found him.

Haha! Glad this had a happy ending! I can't imagine what I'd do if I lost one of my snakes, considering there's a whole house full of dogs to lose them in :oops:

I thought about that same thing. Imagine if I had a puppy or small dog. It could have been very bad news!
