really sad day for me

its been a really sad couple days for me monty got out of his cage and i havent been able to find him at all and im afraid he is either in the walls or he has been eppp... killed by the furnace in the basement i have looked every where and anywhere me and 3 of my friends destroyed my house looking for him and he still is no place to be found all i can do is pray and hope that he shows up

:(

I do to, I'm so sorry...I can only imagine how stressed I would be if this happend. Do you have any other pets?

I am really sorry; my only escapee was sadly found in my basement in a deceased state; since that happened years ago, I have become fanatical in my cage creation; all of our cages are escape proof. But again, accidents can happen; one case of a near-escape involved myself forgetting to put the lid back onto Bela's cage. I seriously wish you luck; sometimes they do turn up.

still no monty?

sending "finding vibes" your way!!!

Hey i am new to this whole snake thing. But I know exactly what ur going thru. Two days ago my stupid moment had me and two of my friends scouring the house to absolutely nothing but dust that didnt look touched. Well about 5 oclock this morning my gf got the surprise of her life as she was getting a glass of water and he slid across her foot. But best of wishes to u. Everyone on here seems to be very knowledgable and searching their lost stories will give u some great ideas to try. And when you find him (not if) dont forget ur significant other cuz i figured out they want to be special, and now she is very jealous of my Buddha.

No monty still. I've been up for almost 3 days now trying to find him the only reason i posted this a couple days after he disappeared was because i also just got my internet back from a eally bad power outtage i just had. I do have other pets i have a parakeet, and a rabbit. i've had other pets in my years but the ball python has and will always be one of my fav reptiles of all times i am going to get another one even if monty shows up or not but i'm hoping he does. i am also adopting this saturday a very aggressive chinese dwarf hamster because the store i work at just got on in to put up for adoption and no one can handle it because anytime u put your hand in its cage it bites you real hard. so i decided i would take him and i already named him lil' monster. also i have a ferret on the way in a couple of week from now and her name is autumn.

thats a list of some pets i am getting. some pets i have, and a pet i hope shows back up soon. i've taken all the heating ducts apart down stairs, and the ones i can get to in the rooms. he is not in them so i am thinking that he is in the wall. i hope i find him soon i've been sick to my stomach feeling helpless not knowing where he is. sorry for such a long post about alot of ramble probably
well i gotta get going so i can continue my search.
peace and love

SSOOO sorry to hear that...:( Someone told me once that they had a BP get out... He said that he took a frozen mouse and sat in the middle of the floor with a hair dryer on it... he said the snake came out after aprox. 1/2 hr. Now, I have NO IDEA if this is true or not, but it might be worth a shot???:confused: Like RGoddess said... throwin "finding" vibes your way! :oops:

i'm throwing even more "finding vibes" your way!!! please please please keep us posted!

Again good luck, also if you dont mind me asking how did he get loose?

have you tried looking under the fridge? based on personal experiences YEARS ago...(dont ask how many:P) my bp got out and I was told to look under the fridge, in the bathroom under the sink, under kitchen sink...etc...anywhere they can get thats warm and dark.

probably didnt tell you anything you didnt already know, huh? sorry bout that, but am sending good thoughts your way.

when my husbands boa got out he put a live mouse in one of those small (like 2gl) tanks near some thing warm. the snake smelled it and was at the tank with in a couple of days. i think they would be able to smell live v frozen. good luck.

Go back and check every opening, crack or crevice that you thought would be too small for him to get into or through. They can (and will gladly!) cram themselves into spaces far tighter than we can imagine. I saw a picture once of an escaped BP...a rather large one...who had completely wedged himself up into the little bit of space between the toilet tank and the wall.


Also...the f/t mouse (or rat...whatever his favorite prey is) and blowdryer trick...try setting it in a doorway of a room you want to check...then sit with the blowdryer blowing over the mouse INTO the room you're checking....see if that scent brings him out hunting. Evening hours might be the best time to try this.

i've looked under the fridge. the only thing i can think of of how he got out was he forced himself out of the top of the tank because the lid was just barely open when i went do to take care of him change his water, and clean his enclosure, and he wasnt under his heat lamp or in his hide box. and thats how the great search started ive tore though this house from top to bottom and botttom to top. still no signs of him and since i just woke up i'm posting this and going on the hunt again before i go to work tonite.

Im sorry to hear that, dont give up the search. You may find him in the most unusual places. Good Luck

:rockon:

good luck with the search... i read somewhere that most BP are found within 15 feet from their cage.. my first bp Skinny, had made an escape and was missing for alittle over a day. Her cage was on top of a dresser the top drawer doesnt close all the way leaving less then a 1/2inch triangular opening. she squirmed down two drawers to the bottom! how she squeezed through such a tight space is a mistory. I searched my whole house fliped my bedroom upside down. then finially my GF found her the next day when she went to get out a shirt. any who i wish you luck finding yours.

hoping today is the day you find him!

He'll show up....trust me...:D

This happened to mine about a week ago. (see thread Lost, in the garage). I tried the warm f/t mouse in the garage and also placed a uth wrapped in a blanket under his favorite hide on a shelf w/my shoes. I did periodic checks throughout the night with all the lights out and just used a streamlight flashlight. After about 24hrs, he came out and was working his way toward the uth. Good luck and don't give up hope on him. Keep us posted.

thank you, for all the advice. i got my mouse sitting in a tank where i believe he went into the wall at. i am going to put a human heating pad out on low near the mouse and hope that works its still a shock to me to think that he is missing. still no sign of him yet. :crying::disbelief
