Escapee

[Marla]

Well, after I responded this morning to the nice responses on my post about getting Seymour to eat, I checked the snakes. Seymour and Hanover were in their hide boxes, tails hanging out, and Snyder had been replaced by a poop. Snyder got out! I checked the immediate area with no joy, but am hoping that because there is nothing else warm in the area, she will come back and hang out for the heat. Seymour got out once already and I found him hanging out under the heating pad (not in contact with it).

Needless to say, despite my filling noticeable crevices and using velco to make sure the drawers shut completely, I am considering the Sterilite drawer setup a failure. We will be getting a new setup this weekend.

Sorry to hear about your escapee!
Please help me with my theory, and let me know how far away from her home you find her. (I am attempting to support my Ten Foot Rule!)
Are you sure Snyder isn't the Shape Shifting Morph? Maybe she turned herself into a turd to fool you into leaving the drawer open, so she could then get out? Did you check in the trash can to make sure the turd is still there?
Just trying to cheer you up, although I'm sure you won't read this for a while......tearing the place up, no doubt!

Behind the fridge (in the coils), behind the TV, in the cold closet on the floor under clothes, and in the bathroom under the cabinet are all places I have found escapees before.

Randy is famouse for the ten foot rule!
I bet it will work, I'm sure you'll find your BP Marla, they are such escape artists,
I bet you'll find him really soon.
I would offer more suggestions, but randy posted my ideas too.
(Idea theif Randy..lol)

I know about Randy's 10-foot rule, and Seymour certainly supported it (~2" from home when found). Sorry to say, my previous escapees have flouted it with abandon, so I'm not counting on its working. I wish I could say I'm home tearing up the place looking for Snyder, but I'm at work as I had an important meeting this morning I had to attend and will not be home for hours as my mom's surgery is at noon and my sister won't be getting to town until late this evening.

However, my roommate has assured me she'll find Snyder since I found Seymour for her, and hopefully she's right! Her enclosure is in the den, which is in the bottom of the split-level house, so the only 'close-by' warm spots are my computer (oh, please don't let her go there!), the television, the furnace, and the water heater (both of which she could only get to by crossing cold concrete floor). I'm hoping she'll hover close to the warmth of home or curl up behind the tv as a previous escapee did.

you'll find it
once it gets hungary it will come out of hiding then you'll find it

damn marla, got my fingers crossed... sorry to hear about that.

Good luck Marla!! I've had horrible luck with escapees lately... but I'm sure you'll do better!

Good luck in finding Snyder, Marla.

I hope I never have to go through it.

Oh Marla.. I hope you do find your escapee soon to. I will keep my fingers crossed. I wish I could offer suggestions on finding an escapee, but to be honest..NONE of my bp's have ever gotten out... and I have had them a long while now. OK- be my luck they might now that I have said this..knock on wood that it wont happen and make me look like a fool for jinxing myself. I guess this far I have been lucky. But for the life of me, cant figure out why others have this problems alot, and I have not ever. :roll:

Sorry to hear about Snyder... You'll find him. Check the 10 foot rule tho, he prolly stayed close if the rest of teh area is cold.
