[Royal Morphz]

I never have, but I also have extra housing of all sorts on hand just in case.

Yeah so do I lol I use racks but I'm always buying more than I should hence why Liza holds all my CC's lol

All in all it just sounds like the OP is very prone to losing snakes and he needs to realize that they are living creatures and need to be treated with care, otherwise things like this will continue to happen.

Hopefully you find this snake as well as the other two you have recently lost. And once found I highly suggest you rethink taking in anymore until you can keep them from escaping and understand how to KEEP these animals.

I agree %100

nomore pets for the OP until they understand completely what goes into, and how to care for these animals.

[shadraak]

what other two

the other 2 you talked about in this thread... http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showthread.php?t=88421

and i dont think it was a whim buy, as there were several other posts asking about morphs and may be getting a spider... i feel sorry for you if lost it, if this is infarct at all real, and more sorry for this animal, but you do need to learn some responsibility man, this is one of the reasons hr669 gets enacted etc.. peoples "pets" getting out and causing problems, there's no update but if no answer by now how long ago this was posted, i fear for the worst .

sorry i know harsh but it's not like this is the first time .

[gixxerrobballs]

Dude i don't know about you but as much as morphs cost, and how hard it is to come up with cash for them in these tough times I'm going to make SURE my INVESTMENT is going to go strolling off speaking of which i need to go put locks on my racks

Years ago I had a corn escape in a car, same corn did it to me twice. Both times the same method drew him out. I let the car get really warm and he would come out of hiding. I of course didnt let it stay warm a long time I didnt want to hurt him. This method may not work for a bp though since they like it warmer than corns. If I take my snakes in the car now I double bag em. Snake is in a tied pillowcase inside either a zippered pet carrier or cooler.

What you have never went to a show and found the best deal and bought it then had to get home and set it up lol I've been around a bit and I do that at every show.

Sorry, but that's a piss poor excuse. If I went to a show with the intention, or even the remotest possibility I might buy a new snake, you'd better believe I'd have it's living area set up well in advance before I went to the show. Shows are stressful enough on these animals. To not even have a habitat set up for it when you get it home is just down right irresponsible and will only induce more stress on your new pet.
I bought a Pastel from a fellow member here on the boards this week, but I am having him hold off on shipping until next week so I can make sure the snake's living quarters is perfect for him. It's called being a responsible snake owner.
Mistakes and accidents do happen, but for tbis type of accident to be repeated by the same person, it only further reinforces the proof that he should not own snakes, PERIOD.

To the OP, hope you find her. I actually lost a snake in my Jeep once too. I picked him up at the breeders house about 1.5 hours from my house. I didn't tie the snake bag good enough, and he got out. I found him on the way home coming out of my roll bar.

[rebeccabecca]

I think that this was an accident and not supporting him in finding the snake isn't very helpful. He didn't burn,let scale rot get horrible, not feed him, let it stay in a filthy tank . It was kind of dumb to leave a snake alone in a car as I wouldn't keep any animals in a locked car alone. I have bought snakes/reptiles then when out right away to get proper housing. And yes 2 baby corns have ecsaped on my although it was because the snakes were hatchlings and so tiny that they fit though holes I didn't even noticewere there.

[mechnut450]

well I remove the car battery to prevent a possible electrical burn and then i start looknig everywere to see if you can see her. I would also be nice and let the neighbors ( if possible0 know that she gor out of the bag in route home and to keep an eye out/call you..

I also consider not getting any more snakes until you either find 1. the bodies of the snakes dead, 2 the snakes alive, and 3 learn to d oa better job with the snakes in question .
I always transport the snake(s) i remove in either a douuble case ( pillow case then in the snakes bag ) or in a tub with latched lids) I don't open their transport unit until I am home.
To check if is alive during transport just feel the bag they move lol...

I would also say if you lost 2 snakes already then you should of had cages already set up so no need ot buy another one .
