Miss Snow escaped her enclosure.

I am almost in tears. Been searching for 3 hours.

Look everywhere that is dark, warm, and "too small" for a ball python to hide in. Sometimes they are found in the same room of as their cage, but they can fit into tiny spaces - you can also scatter lines of flour on the floor to look for tracks or dangle a heat lamp over her hide on the floor to make a warm spot. Good Lcuk

Many years ago I had to work out of town for a month so a took my bp to a very good friends house. The little rascal escaped after 2 days so I had to drive home to find it. My friend said he tore the house apart and my snake is gone. I walked in the door and stopped in the middle of his living room. I thought to myself "start at the warmest place" I went straight to the kitchen and slid the drawer out under the oven and presto snake reappearo


Edit: look under the oven drawer, not in it

Lucky sliding it open you didn't smash him.. I always worry about that when people look for animals. My wife lost a hopping, jumping ASF under the couch.. She went wild sliding everything around until I walked in & screamed "STOP MOVING EVERYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE YOU CRUSH IT".
She panicked and wasn't thinking lol

I was careful and feel stupid for not mentioning that. I had a very bad incident when I was 12 or so with a baby corn that I caught. Poor little fellow got out of the tub I had it in and I slid the refrigerator forward to look behind it and I killed it [emoji22] I felt horrible

I was beginning to give up hope. I must have had mice. She looks like she has eaten something. Little worried. Hope no sickness comes out of it.

Did you find any other signs of mice? I definitely hope she doesn't get sick

Another story from my past: somewhere around 20 years ago I got my first bp. Come to think of it, the escape artist from my earlier story. I found a nest of rat pups in a shed in my back yard. I fed 3 of them to my bp and luckily no sickness. That poor snake had it rough compared to the standards of today. I kept it in an aquarium with a heat rock and not the slightest idea of the temps or humidity and the little bugger was very healthy, shed perfectly every time, never hissed or tried to bite and escaped more times than I could count. I had it for about 2 years and the last time it escaped, I never seen it again. I've found it inside the cone of a subwoofer a few times and deep inside my couch alot too. I've been woken up a few times by it too. I guess I was warm and comfy.

A few rodent droppings but that is it.

Put a couple traps out so maybe to can catch one and examine it for diseases. Unfortunately all you can really do is keep a close eye on her and keep the vet on speed dial... good luck and keep me posted if you don't mind

You can take the snake out of the wild, but not the wild out of the snake!

Also, imagine that rodents' surprise- and if he had any friends present, the rodent world will be abuzz with tales of monsters tonight in your yard !!

That was all Common back then. My 20 year old Burm lived with a room Ambient of 65-74 in front of a Picture window in my Living Room that was 25x22 and Drafty with only a Heat Rock in a 8'x36"X24" enclosure for the first 10 years of his life. No thermometers, thermostats or Humidity control. My wife and I always had to help him shed..idk how many times he would slide the double pane glass door open on his enclosure and id wake up to him looking at me on the side of my bed Hissing Crazy at the Cat who was laying on me... We would also wake up with him clearing the Kitchen counter off, or pulling the Shower Curtain Rod down. Between that Burm and myself we used all that cats lives hahahahaha.
When I look back it seems like another Lifetime... 18 years old, wild and not a ounce of sense hahahaha

I once lost a fully grown corn snake in my parents house for two weeks! I did the flour trick, I put out water and some thawed mice, I looked everywhere. Found where he had gone to the bathroom under my brothers dresser. That was the only sign of him until one night I woke up to go pee and he was sliding across my bedroom floor! Talk about lucky lol

So glad you found her!!

Make sure that enclosure is escape proof, and make sure to set the clips, latches, locks, etc...whatever you use.

I think many of us have had an escapee at some point, I know I have, talk about a stressful experience

You should feel lucky that you have a BP baby, because corn snake babies are almost IMPOSSIBLE to find. Learn your lesson though about cage security, now you know how well they can hide.

good job finding her !!!

It was a mistake. I failed to latch the lid before I went to bed the night before after cleaning water dish and spot cleaning her cage. She curled up inside her hide and laid there looking out all night last night. I think she was happy to be warm and back home even though she was stuffed with what ever rodent/s? she eat yesterday. She might not eat for a week or so now. LOL. Hope she is ok and healthy with what she eat while she was out.

I know ball pythons are suppose to be ambush predators laying in wait but mine seam to be hunters. All 3 of them don't wait for anything to come to them. They go after it with a vengeance. LOL I will try not to forget her latches again.
