    look everywhere in a 10ft area. check small places that you know it cant get into. it might. when did it last eat? try leaving a heat pad on low with a hide over it and a mouse inside. hope ya fine them

    Any idea how he escaped? Any idea how long it has been? Do you have a cat or a dog? If so, keep an eye on them. They could lead you right to him. Definitely look everywhere, no matter how small the spot is .. check it. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

    do you have uncarpeted floors? If so, you should try the powder thing... sprinkle it around the floor at night and then you can see if and where she's moved...

    oh well.we searched everywhere and found the vents open.So we think she is there.I knew corns were too small for me!Oh well,it is not like it was a really expensive thing.And to look at the bright side,I have an extra tank and lid and all sorts of supplies.Next time,I'll get something girthy.Any Ideas?

    Are you giving up that easy? You really might want to consider to continue the hunt. Let us know how it goes.

    hey can someone tell me how to make those coool banners!!!
    BPKID- Please keep looking, dont give up hope...

    2 of mine got out and the one I found in less than 2 hours later.. the other I tore the house apart and recleaned every day for 9 days! When I finally sat down one the 9th night to read this site for a bit before looking more, my hubby walked in from work and walked by the cage after coming home, and he happened to look down on the shelf and he said "hey dear look, theres hershey" he was on the shelf under his cage hanging out like he was waiting to be noticed. I was sooo relieved.... I actually cried tears of joy. Ok, that may sound silly, but I LOVE my SNAKES! :oops: The whole 9 days I was sooo worried. Hershey was soo tiny, anything could have happened to him it was winter... :cry:

    Please keep lookin for your corn.

    That does NOT sound silly, I would do the same.

    bpkid, please don't give up on your snake so easily. Keep looking, keep your eye up. You never know when it might turn up. I hope your snake is found safe and sound.

    Is it just me, or have we gotten a lot of this on the board lately? (As I go to double check that my locks are secure.) Yikes!

    aww, I'm sorry to hear that bpkid... what happened though exactly? How did she escape and everything?

    the lid was super old. She probably got killed by my dog or from the cool temps.But i did a good job taking care of her though.It was just the lid.Thats wy i want a girthy snake.i had clips and stuff.I had big enough holes in the lid.But do you have any ideas of a girthy snake for me?(I'm not getting it now,I just wanna reasearch prices and caging and stuff)

    Wasn't she a baby? Was she in a tank or rubbermaid? If you want girthy, you might just go with an adult rather than a baby. Or house the baby in a rubbermaid/sterlite shoe box until bigger.

    I'm thinking of getting mine probed.Then i will get a female if its a male or a male if its a female.Or albino bp.They got them at the show for like $60.But i'm really leaning towards a albino bci.I only need $80(4 the snake) doin chores and stuff,and my mom will pay the rest(Supplies)
