This past Thursday night my 13yr old son had his prized female pastel (Blues) escape from her enclosure. This is a snake that he has been raising and is/was hoping to breed this upcoming fall. We have been tearing apart the house and have set up various "hot spots" in several rooms. One thing that is against us right now is that she actually ate the night before the escape, so she's not actively seeking food right now.

While I want my son to continue to have hope of finding her, I also want him to understand what the odds are that we are dealing with.

As much info as people would like to provide would be greatly appreciated as we are truly singing the "blues" .
Sorry to hear his prized possession escaped But luckily he will find her... I recently had an escape, and you can see the story (i started a thread on it), if you look at my last threads started.... But anyway, when your snake is lost, you feel like you have 0% chance of finding them... Thats how i felt when one of my adult bp's escaped... I went nuts looking for him for hours, tore up my entire room, and after i finally gave up, i found him in the one spot i wasnt expecting him to be lol.... Everyone that i know who has lost a snake has found them later on, wether it be within the next 15 min. or next 6 months.... So i would say there is 100% you'll find him... Another thing that helped me, was i prayed to St.Anthony, and i coincidently found my Bp about 5 minutes later....
