escapee

well i got woke up this morning by my mom asking me if my sister took her snake with her last night and i said idk so i call her and she said no so guess who is here trying to find a 3 foot long bp i am where is my sister m.i.a screaming she dont have a way home. gosh she pis*** me off if your going to own a snake make sure it cant get out and if it does then atleast come home and help find it b4 your dad gets home because if he finds it i have to get rid of all my snakes plus hers. would any1 be able to share some good hiding spots for him i have distroyed her room trying to find him and no luck yet.:rage::mad::confused:

well ive had the best luck finding snakes in corners... if this is a bed room im sure theres something in a corner for it to hide under or inside of.... you have to remember that these guys can get into things that look impossible for it to fit in.

also anything that generates heat in the room will attract the snake.
ive had only 2 escapees and both of them never even left the room that they were in.
keep me posted on if you find it and where.

goodluck,
Mike H.:cool:

I found my escapee in a dresser drawer both times. The first he was actually in the drawer, the second he had crawled behind the draw. So be careful when you are pulling dresser drawers out.

Good luck! I hope it works out.

thanks yall im still looking by myself while she is off doing her thing :mad:

I had one BP escape twice. The first time he was a few feet away curled up near a heat source. The 2nd time he was 3 rooms away so don't get discouraged and just look EVERYWHERE. Use a flashlight when looking too, it'll help. Good luck.

well i have pulled out all of her dressers and computer stand and emptied her closet and still have not found him. if it got into my moms room the dogs would have let me know as i let all the dogs smell them when i get all mine out and they sniff and walk away. so i dont think he made it into my moms room so i have 3 other rooms to look in and distroy then clean back up besides hers of course lol. hopefully he will come crawling out of his hiding spot soon i dont feel like cleaning all this crap back up. :mad::rage:

Look under clothes, dressers, box springs, if the bedrooms are upstairs then you are lucky. If not, search under the fridge, oven, couches (and cushions), and chairs. Basically a dark warm area. Make a mess and have her clean it up ;)

My boa got out and was on top of the heat vents in my basement.

im in a 4 bedroom siglewide trailer and i have completly searched her room so now its off to the kitchen i dont think my moms dog would have let it in my moms room with out waking them up lol and i have somewhat searched in there so i guess its off to the next room this is making me madder the more i do this i have been up since 630 am looking for him and now its going on 1130 and still no sign of him or my sister :rage::mad:

Any open vents? How about bathroom or hallway closets? I feel your pain, it took me a few hours too.

Is it getting warm there yet? I just talked to my mom who lives near you and she said its supposed to get in the 80's.

Look in place that have any openings even small ones. They get into couches, recliners, vacuums, ovens, fridges, dressers everywhere. Look in your moms room to don't count anything out. At all. Start at the cage go against the wall with a flashlight and slowly start to go around the room, and house. I pull things out of the room and check them one by one and take them out of the room as they are checked. I turn over couches, beds, any other furniture look for any holes or rips in the fabric and go from there. He won't come out till night time now so go slowly and keep a head on your shoulders. I've found every one of my escapees quickly well it takes a couple hours. But better than days. I hope you find him.

yes it is getting warmer here no open vents that i know of he is a bigger bp so i dont think he could fit into the vents with the covers on them i have checked my moms bathroom since thats the closest to her room. it goes my moms room bathroom her room laundry room then kitchen living room then my sons room our bathroom then my room i have checked all there rooms just got done checking kitchen and living room still no sign :mad: now i guess its off to my sons room and bathroom and my room where all my snakes are at in the nice rack i built no getting out for them but if i cant find him my stepdad said they all have to go so im panicing b4 he gets home from work some time this evening since he didnt want them in here to begin with so he is really not a happy camper.:mad: oo yea guess who just called my sister she asks did u find him i said nope and she said thats all she wanted to know and hung up.:rage::mad:

well just a update still no sign of him :( hopefully he will get active tonight and come out of his hiding spot so we can find him.

Have you taken a walk around the primeter of your house? Not that he will be sitting out in the open but just to look for tracks or turn over any toys or coverage that he might be in. Maybe even under if you have skirting?

no didnt think he could possibly get out but now that u mention it i will go walk around and take a look. this is bugging me even though she really pis*** me off cause she thinks i need to take care of hers too cause she aint nothing but a bum and if my wonderful stepdad comes home and tells me i have to get rid of mine over her all heck is going to break loose cause ive put effort into making sure none of mine can get out i check on them everyday just to make sure then she brings hers up here cause she dont have anywhere else to go cause she is a bum and wont get a job i will be very unhappy :mad::rage:

I'll bet he's still in the room. They can get into everything....like if you have a tear in the bottom of your box spring they can get into that, reclining chairs, the backs/bottoms of sofas, wedged between a piece of furniture and wall, under a speaker

Remember to check high places too, like the top shelf of any closets. I'm fairly certain that as soon as a ball excapes they grow wings to ensure they won't be caught. Little turds!!

I would sure be telling my parents my sister needs to get rid of her ball if she can't take care of it. That's a bunch of diddly that you get blamed for her being unresposible.

How close is feeding day? Have you tried scenting it out with a rodent?

I have only lost a big snake (a long time ago) but honestly, I think they are all usually found within 5 feet of where they escaped. I would double check everything super close to the enclosure. Almost all the threads I've read end with "I found him XXXX" and it is usually right where you already looked before. Good luck!

Regards,

B

Indeed X2

well just went back in her room to check in her closet again and to see if he might have came out of whereever he was still no sign of him stepdad home bit**ing like always saying he wants all of them gone but whatever i aint getting rid of mine he can kiss it. so o well maybe tonight he will come out. i tried to feed him for the past couple days but he wouldnt eat so i dont know what his deal is. :mad: sister still hasnt came home dont even want her to cause she is going to jump on nagging mode and start her crap. :rage:

Look under the refrigerator with a flashlight. Thats where mine went both times. They look for warmth.

Checks for tears in mattresses too...they like to crawl into super tight places.

well every1 just a wonderful update he has been found looked over him 3 times before he knocked over some pictures trying to get up on top of the stereo in the living room i guess he wanted to jam a little but he was in the bottom of it the whole time then came up the back of it and in the process knocked over some pictures we have on top of it.:) but now he is in the tank with locks on the cage that i had for my bp but have recently went to a rack system so no longer needed them so here i am again taking care of her snakes like always i tried to take them from her and just add them to my collection since i have to use my rats to feed them and basically if i dont buy what they need then they dont get it and it really makes me mad.:mad: but on a happier note stepdad hasnt said anything to me about mine and i shown them that they aint getting out again they are ok with it again.:D:D:snake::gj:

That's great! Glad he was found and is now safe and sound.

:banana:

:gj:Glad you found him!

good stuff

good going, I know i had a scare this mornig ( 2x actually) I woke at 230 and hearda thud from reptile room, quick check and here on of the snake pushed the tub lid up enough to get out. I did a quick check and she fine. PLaced her back in the tub andplaced a couple heavy object on top the lid( I use the lids on my tubs )
well I got up 20 mintues ago and check again to ( find one snake laying eggs 3 possible 4 eggs)) andthe other missing again. I cussing a storm and try to start looking for her( I did somethingto my back and it semi locked up I can move /bend a little but it hurts like heck ) I then see a tub pushed out a little and angled, I look here she it laying on the heat tape directly wanting more warmth I guess. so I pulled out a different tub ( same size and mak just different model I guess) I placed it with her on a different shelf were the lid can only go up if lucky 1/4 inch. so see if she can get out of this one ( it stiffer plastic too)

i just wanted to say thanks for all the helpful comments on finding him and yes they do grow wings there aint anything on the radio its in a big wood case so i dont see how could have climbed up it but hey with them there aint no telling but i just wanted to say thanks everyone. and she still hasnt came home to check on them she did call me at 1130 last night and i gave her another as* chewing and she hung up on me again she said i hurted her feelings lol so i asked her if she needed a straw to suck it cupcake lol and that was the end of that call. lmao but o well all is well with the snakes thats all that matters right now. :D:D

I'm a little late, but congras on finding him! I'm so glad you are getting to keep yours too.

I'm telling you, the min you turn your back.....wings. Can someone please to try to get a picture of this?

Awesome

Another one of those I found him..... :D
