One Of My Bp's Has Gone Missing!

Heres how it went,

I went over to check on my adults bp's like i do every morning, and i noticed my male 100% Het albino was gone!!! I checked all the other tubs to see if i may have paired him and forgot, but he wasnt in any of those tubs either! He must of somehow pushed his way out! He is about 1,000 grams, and got out in my room. I checked under my bed, inside the box spring under my bed (there was a small rip in it, so i ripped the whole thing open..., in my closet, in the radiator, my drawers, but still no sign of him! I sticked two medium heat pads to a 32 qt lid, and plugged them in, hopefully this will attract him...... Any tips? Btw, my room is upstairs, not downstairs, could he have gone down the stairs?

he may be much closer than you think...don't give up hope you will find him

Lay a f/t rat on the heated lid.

Yes, he could have gotten downstairs. My super pastel got out of his - I admit, not very secure - quarantine box. Luckily Sammy, our cat, found him and screamed up a storm (he's very protective of our snakes ... I'm not kidding!).
Tips: Crinkle paper on the floor and keep an ear open, flour dusting the floor to figure out from where he's coming/where he's going, dead rat on top of the heat mat, lots of patience and good luck!
Hope you find your escape artist soon!

Thats a great idea, im definately going to try it.

What FatBoy said. I'm sure he will come up Brandon. Also check in very close places. (behind the rack, ect.) Good Luck! (:

Good luck. One of my boys got out just earlier this week (due to my own personal stupidity). I searched and searched but did not find him. I could barely sleep and I heard a noise. Somehow he had gotten on top of my dresser in my bedroom (2 rooms away from the snake room) and was pushing everything off of it. I think he was trying to get my attention :)
Try the tips people have given here and be patient. Right now he's probably hiding somewhere comfy.

Okay guys im extremly happy right now! I just found my Bp. I decided to check behind my tv stand in the radiator thing, b/c i didnt recall checking there.. I felt the bottom, and all i felt was metal, then i felt the top and got spooked b/c i felt something soft and pulled my hand out LOL Then i looked closer, and THERE HE WAS! I took some pics too lol

Heres him in the radiator thing:

Alright! :banana: I knew you would find him. In that picture he looks like as if he's thinking : "Uh-oh, I'm in trouble now!"
Now go get the chains, ratchet tie-downs, pad locks and whatnot to turn that enclosure into a Ft. Knox security facility. ;)

Haha, one time my ball got out, I went crazy looked all over, then I thought....hmmmm where is somewhere he can bundle up and get warm...nice and dark....Looked in my closet and I had some old comforters bundled up in there. Right when I looked at the comforters I hear him Yawn and sure enough I lifted the comforter up and there he was, all bundled up and warm in the corner between 2 soft comforters. haha

Congrats Brandon aren't you glad you stayed around this forum lol. They do get into the strangest places lol.

Hello I am new here on the forums, but wanted to say I am glad you found him :)
I have heard of cases where they get up inside sofa's, and refridgerator motors, and place dark and/or warm!!!
I have had only one escapee, and it was my fault because I had him out, and forgot to put the pins back on the sliding lid, and he pushed it off, but luckily I found him in the corner of my snake room!!!!:rolleye2:

Glad you found your guy.... .Looks like you and I had the same kind of scare....Got up this morning to no snake in the tank... Rios is only 19.5 inches long and only 109 grams...So still a little guy.........After a half hour of searching I had to leave to go to work, so I enlisted my boyfriend to come over and turn my house inside out.... Needless to say two hours later I got a call at work. Rios was found , Little S@#$ made it into the back of my little all in one printer, up behind the ink cartridges and ribbon. Had to take the printer apart to get Rios out. Now my boyfriend has made the tank completely escape proof......
