Yeah, Norman managed to get out of his cage. It is amazing how cunning BP's can be. When I got home from work, he was gone. I found him in about an hour and I thought that I would share my trick.

I searched the house in every place that seemed like a good place for a snake to hide but I couldn't find him. So after looking over the house twice, I decided to try something. I got a frozen mouse out of the freezer and thawed it out. Then I went to the opening of the bedroom, held the mouse by the tail and used a hairdryer to blow the mouse scent in to the room. and watched for any movement. Sure enough, he came out of the closet all excited. So then I got the feeding tongs and fed him right on the floor where he was because feeding day is tomorrow and he had the mouse already locked on. After he had eaten the whole mouse, I gently put him back in his cage. If your snake gets as excited as mine does when he smells food, it should work for you too. I assume that if you don't see anything moving in the room, you could probably just go around the house with the mouse and dryer. If that doesn't work, you can always use the box trick, where you get a box and make a hole just big enough for the snake to squeeze in and place a nice dead mouse in the box. Sometime during the night the snake will come and get the mouse and the lump won't let him get back out of the box. That one works well too
