I've seen a ton of new BP owners (like myself) on here as I've been roaming this site the last couple months and just wanted to pound in one more point just a little more...when they're out of their cage DON'T LET THEM OUT OF SIGHT FOR ONE SECOND!!!! As you handle them more & more, letting them explore around your bed, computer table, etc,, you'll naturally become a bit more relaxed about it and suddenly you've lost your snake. A week ago today I had my boy out roaming my computer table (which is fine....the worst that could happen there is he falls to the carpet, making a thud I always heard), but this time there was a chair next to the table. I saw him go to the chair but kept my eye on him. After watching him try to go off the back to the floor and give up because of the height I relaxed a bit figuring he had no way off. I kept glancing over every few seconds and everything looked fine, then he was gone. I'd say within 5 seconds he'd gone from me lookin right at him to where I tore apart my room only to come up empty. i've since looked in every possible place imaginable and still havent found him, and this has been one of the most god-awful weeks I've been through emotionally (and I've had my share). So please, save yourself the torment (and possibly your snakes life) and keep a close eye on em.

I searched on the forum and tried pretty much everything I saw. I have a warm hide with a mouse in a clear container (lotsa holes punched in) near it that I'm moving to different places every night, but no luck yet. Starting to lose hope cuz he's still a little guy at 89 grams (2 weeks today was his last meal)...still lookin thou.
