My first escape!

My first escape and this is an especially painful one. Which brings me to my second point it was my first clutch. For the first time in owning ball pythons I have had an escape with momma went with 3 18 hour old babies. One was a mojave, the second was a pastel (particularly hot) and the third was my pastave female that I had popped. Found momma three tubs down behind the tub. I have not found any babies. We have dogs but have not heard any commotion or found any evidence that they got them, all our rooms are separated by baby gates so the dogs have limited range in the house. I was waiting for the other two pastels to come out of their eggs then I was going to clean mommas tub and feed her and then get everyone set up in their own tub.

I was on cloud 9 yesterday morning now all I want to do is cry.

And always search the closest places multiple times! Snakes are usually found really close to their enclosures.

Found the mojave! Tore apart the house will try again tomorrow. I have set up a heated place in the room that they escaped in with several hides so maybe they will show up in one of them.

only had one escape and found in a couple of hours. But what is a heated place and do you place hides randomly?

It's amazing how well they play hide and seek!

Good luck

I hope you find the others soon.

I feel you, I never found my Sssophie. Hope you have find them! Since they were just in-doors, I am sure they are just there.

Look for the to tiniest spots you can find. Babies are tiny so they have the advantage of getting in places the mom won't be.

When I lost mine I figured out some tricks that i gave a go. You can go to a grocery store and get lots plastic bags and spread them out on the floor right before you go to bed and you can listen for crinkling noises. Also baby powder can tell you which way they went. If its carpet you can line up pennies to do the same thing. When i started getting desperate i posted an ad on craigslist wanting a smelling dog. Well i got a reply. The man said his dog "points" and that there wasnt any danger of it hurting my snake (he was actually worried about my bp hurting his dog lol) Anyways when he came over he found the snake in about 45 seconds on the top shelf of my bookshelf. (which is why my tricks didnt work)
I hope you find them!

I found mine under the fridge on the 2nd day of missing. Also can use scotch tape, place it upside down/sticky side up in streams in every hallway or dooway 4 streams deep and make them long. If your snake hits em they will drag them to the direction they went ( if it falls off) or wherever the snake hides you might see a stream of tape hanging out. Also tape should make some noise if not attach a plastic bag to the ends to make noise and keep your lights off and ears open! The tape shouldnt harm them but anything stronger might. Sticky rat traps might hurt the snake if it freaks out so dont use that. Also most importantly do not take the trash out! They might get into something you throw aWay or even the trash bag itself!

Gl finding them keep hope!!!

sorry to hear that i just lost one of mine last week found it 12 hours later crawling up the back of the radio that is never on so look up high to cause they can grow wings. :) hope you find the rest

Sorry to hear this Mike :( Glad to hear you found the mojo though and I hope you find the other two soon bro!!

Oh my gosh that's terrible! :( Did you maternally incubate them then?
