BTW, in case you're wondering, I've never had to remove a snake from upholstered furniture, but I've had SO many TRY to go down into the cushions, almost like an "instinct"! They just love to squeeze into things to hide, & cushy fabrics are hard to resist, as is the darkness offered. Hang in there- think positive.

Once was all it took, That was scary to me, though the snake was just doing what snakes do and probably found it comforting in there
I make sure it will not happen again. Now that she knows the spot, she might go for it again.

Oh yes, they do seem to remember. I've had a snake get part-way into the cushions- as nice as it feels, these are not the right pets to relax on a couch with. And what's worse is that you can injure them (even fatally) by pulling back on them, so when a snake starts to go into something they shouldn't, you have to be very careful about how you try to stop them. Without actually pulling back, the most you can do is try to resist their forward motion, & because going forward is suddenly hard, hope they give up & back out. Yes, I've "been there"... I've just been lucky enough not to have a snake go all the way in.

By the time I realized what she was up too it was too late, I tried to hold her but felt her "muscle up" to keep going so just left her go
and figured I get her out after. Didn't want to hurt her, figured that was the best way to handle that.

I’d try heating up a f/t prey item after dark and place it inside a tub, with a hide in it, either on or beside the couch. Hopefully the scent will draw your snake out. Best wishes.

I know. Sometimes that's all you can do, so as not to hurt them. If they get in too far & have too much leverage, ya gotta let 'em go & deal with the situation later.
