Hey guys, sorry to make another "I lost my snake thread".

I was holding my baby bp on thursday night. I put her back in her cage as usual. I didn't come home until today around 4:00. I went to hold her for a little bit but to my shock she wasn't in her cage I keep her in a 40 gallon tank with a screen lid. Usually I put a book on the top, but I am in the process of switching rooms and forgot to put it on.

I stripped my entire room and most of the other room tonight trying to find her. I am in a 3 bedroom basement. My bedroom, which is pretty small, a larger room with a lot of boxes and furniture, and another work room with concrete floors.

I was reading other posts and was readint that snakes don't like cold on their bellies so i don't think she would of gone in the work room. I also don't think she would go up the stairs because all of the floors up there are wood, so that would also be cold.

In a few of the other topics, I read something about putting a dead mouse in a container in the room somewhere. How long should I keep this mouse out before it will start to rot? Also, should I place the mouse on a heatpad?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
David
