    Keep us posted, good luck.
    dont use flour or sugar it can attract ants.
    salt is a much better idea

    ..well. There's some 'tracks' through the flour, but still a mouse, and no other sign of a snake.
    I really don't know what else to do..I'm thinking about buying a gerbil soon if she doesn't turn up in within the next week or so. My friend said when his ball escaped, a gerbil brought him right out...thanks for all of the advice so far. ^^

    dub it a hackneyed, faux demeanor; you'll ultimately stand corrected.

    Put the hides in the kitchen for the night, and check in places that you wouldn't imagine her in... I hope you find her.

    Can you pull an all-night vigil? BPs are nocturnal, and if she's going to move spots, she'll do it at night. If it's any consolation, my female Delilah has escaped twice, and we found her pretty quickly! The first time she was squeezed behind the dresser (wrapped up in some wires), and the second time she was on top of a high bookshelf... both times, however, only a few feet from her tank. So definitely look in the immediate area where she disappeared, and see if you can stay up one night to keep watch. Also remember they CAN climb, as evidenced by Delilah's hiding spot, and they love electrical equipment for the warmth. Good luck!!

    UPDATE:
    Stewie has been found!! She was curled up in my mom's underwear drawer..where I did look before, so she must've just moved there. But, she was looking rather hungry, and it's three days past her usual feeding day, so I gave her a mouse and she ate it without hesitation. I'm so happy and relieved that words cannot describe it...and from this, I've learned: you certainly can't trust just anyone with your snakes.
