    its been ove a week since the ecape

    Truthfully what are the odds in me finding my escaped Pastel? I have looked everywhere in all the warm spots and crannies. So do I just hope he pops up one day?

    Just keep looking. Have you tried putting a f/t mouse in a tupper ware container with some holes somewhere in the room?

    Re: its been ove a week since the ecape

    I've heard many stories about lost snakes popping up weeks, and sometimes even months later.

    Keep looking. Don't limit yourself to "warm" places. They will often hide someplace cool if it feels secure. Whenever you have a chance to be quiet and still...listen. If you can just sit in the evening with a book or something equally silent to occupy yourself with, you may hear him rustling around. (I found a lost one that way once)

    I had a friend with a rosy boa that got lost...was gone for two years. Then he moved to a new house. When he was unpacking boxes, he found the snake alive and well in one of the packed boxes! True, happy story!

    Re: its been ove a week since the ecape

    I found my pastel in my closet because I was up in the middle of the night looking for him. I heard a thud in the closet and when I opened the door I swear I heard him cuss becasue he was caught. I always search at night for them if they get out.
    Too many snakes to list. Ball pythons, Gtp's and Boa's. It easier to say it that way.

    I lost a nice creamsicle corn adult female once........4 months later, after I had given up, I was walking by the bookcase one afternoon and she was stretched out on the top shelf watching me......I swear she was grinning......I had actually walked by and had to look again, it just didn't register at first it was her. Just keep your eyes and ears open, he will turn up.

    Re: its been ove a week since the ecape

    There is always a chance you are going to find your snake. Be optomistic. If he got out in your bedroom, go through all your drawers, behind every stand. Look in corners, even look in places you wouldn't think of, like on top of your clothes. I know that bps are ground animals, but they will minover over everything and anything.

    Look under vanities in your kitchen, bathrooms,etc. They don't aways seek somewhere warm vs. somewhere dark and secluded. Look at the bottoms of your vanities to see if there are holes they can climb up and over to the wall behind. A lot of vanities have that space between the base board and wall that they can climb up and over.

    PM me with more information and I can def. give you some more help on the matter.

    Re: its been ove a week since the ecape

    A couple years back I put a few hatchlings into pop top 6qt tubs thinking they'd be safe for a day or so till I could get better tubs, boy was I wrong.
    9 days after he went missing I found my lil male yellow belly outside across the pathway under my neighbors window just sitting in the sun in the grass soaking it up.
    Keep looking, look at night and recheck all the places you have looked.
    Good luck in your hunt.
