Lost My Snake :(

Hello Everyone.
Sadly, last night, my brand new 90 gram Pied Male escaped from his cage :(. I was wondering where I should look for him and I have 2 stories in my house. Give me suggestions on where to find him and how to do it.

I'd start by checking everything within 6 to 8 feet of his enclosure. Check *everything* closely, even the things and places you are positive he cannot fit in.

Sorry to hear this. I know your anxiety level is high.

Good probability that he went to small, dark place close to his enclosure. Something as simple as a shoe.

Best

Checked my entire room. He isn't anywhere to be seen

I have checked my entire room and checked it again over and over. He is no where

Don't forget that they are excellent climbers, look up!

Check clothes, inside the arms, legs, and pockets.

ok! Any tactics that I can use to draw him back?

If you have a heat lamp, set his lamp up elevated off the floor, with some news paper on the floor. Possible some substrate on top of the paper. If you feed thawed mice, thaw one and put it on a paper plate under the lamp. Just don't put the lamp too close to the floor and cause a fire. Good luck! He may show up for some heat, or the meal.

I found monty under my mattress, between the mattress and the box spring. Also behind a dresser. Remember, they can see heat, anywhere warm.

Do you have a heater in your house? Even if it's not "on" most heaters have a pilot that remains lit. Check there. Water heaters too. Behind your fridge. He is small enough to be just about anywhere.

Check every nook and cranny of the room he was in. If nothing turns up then seal off that room and proceed to the next n so on n so on.
The few times ive had an escapee they were always within 5ft of the enclosure.
Check a sump pit if you have one too. Buddies ended up in there and the smell was awful.
Good Luck.

Wow, I feel bad for you. Try and be positive that you will find him. Concentrate on the areas that generate heat both high and low. Be extra vigilant at night because that is more likely when he will venture out from wherever he is hiding. Be sure to turn off any loud ,noisy electronics during the night searches. Use a good flashlight. Try luring him out with a uth that has a f/t rat on it. Maybe even a live rat or mouse in a critter keeper for the scent attraction. Call over some friends and make a project out of it. Stay in peace and not pieces. He will turn up! :gj:

Use a flashlight when searching. And don't just look at a place, move lift and look underneath, even if you think he couldn't possibly fit in such a small space.
