    I woke up to find one of my ball pythons has escaped. We have search the entire house and looked in every spot except the spot where she is hiding. Any tricks to finding her? Thanks

    Keep looking! I have always found escaped snakes in an hour or so. Just do a sweep looking under things. On top, I herd someone found there ball coiled up in the garbage disposal!

    Well that is frightening.

    It's time to think like a snake! I like warm dark places where I can curl up and not be disturbed. Think about how I would get out of my enclosure. The path I would take once I had escaped. I try to get down to the floor. I'll slither across desks and shelves and into piles of laundry. I'm usually pretty close to where I normally live, but I can travel into other rooms if the door is open! I'm going to get nice and comfy here wherever I am..You'll find me eventually!


    Check everywhere. And then check everywhere another 3-4 times. Then check again. Make sure you are looking at any possible place the snake can hide.

    It really did, I laid on the floor and said where would I go. I look and there was my woofer with the air hole just looking at me. I tumped upside down and I saw her fall. It worked great. Thanks
