I'm so glad you aren't trying glue traps...those are horrible! I've never heard of anyone trying to trap their pet that way, but I know many herps get
stuck on them by accident, not what the person was trying to catch & hard to remove. I've never tried to use a water bottle trap, so no opinion there.
Really glad you've narrowed down where he is, we're all pulling for you to get him safely home to his viv soon...yes, snake escapes "happen" to most of us.
Each time there's a new post on this I'm hoping he's in your hands. He will be soon...
My funniest "escape" wasn't from a cage but from eggs! Back when I lived in the desert, I didn't need an incubator for my snake eggs as room temperature
was perfect. So I was at least a week or two from this clutch of Everglades rat snakes to hatch (or so I thought) & I was just about to put the box of eggs
into a secure cage when we had an earthquake while I was at work. When I came home, I found that the earthquake appeared to hasten their desire to get
going...there were 3 little slimy trails of vermiculite leading away from several empty egg shells and "the game" was on. I found them all pretty fast, and oh
did they resent that! Hatchling rat snakes are feisty, they coiled & lunged & did their best to scare me off: one was on the top of a book case, up near the
ceiling...most impressive! Another was on his way up, & the third went into the closet. (the rest hatched out into a cage, whew!)
