So for the first time in 12 years I pulled the ultimate dumba** move! I left the clip off my Albino red-tails cage. Was gone for about six hours and when I came home and was going to clean the cages Guess what? GONE!!!!!! I have them all in the basement which is partially finished there are no holes anywhere that I could find! And in my panic attack could not remember if I left the basement door open! Any suggestions??????????????? Right now I am thawing a rat and placed her heat lamp toward the floor and turned out all the lights and the heat down to 65. Like I said I am in a freaking panic right now so if anyone has any great suggestions please givethem to me I only found one web page with info for something like this as far as ge3tting the boa to come out of hiding and such. she is the 6 ft beaauty in my avatar!

FOUND HER!!!! THE ONE PART OF THE CEILING I COULD NOT SEE! Now she is wedged between the top of the ceiling and and the cold air return. Any suggestions on how to coax her out? I did not want to yank her out and injure her!

[cgator]

try using the f/t rat you had out ... if that dont work try a live one in a fish tank below her that will get her down to come check it out on her own if shes hungry

Well I just want to ssy THANK YOU ALL the suggestions. The battle is over at 4:35 in the morning. I turned alll of the lights off and then waited an hour. No movment. 2 hours no movement. as 3:30 am rolled around I checked one more time and could not get her to budge with anything! She was also ice cold. So what did I do? I just completely ripped the duct work from the ceiling hahahahaha. Ill be taking a trip to home depot today. MAN SHE IS FREAKING STRONG!!!!! I had 3/4 of her body out and she was still clenched to the area with all her might. I have never felt her with a death grip on anything before becasue she is a very chill snake when you take her out of the cage. I almost fell backwards out of the chair. I finally got her out and back to her home. It did not appear as if she had any wounds. I made sure to check becasue I was extremely worried. There are some loose nails and things above the drop ceiling . Im glad I found her!!!!!! So again THANKS!!!!!!!

BG knows you found her, but he has a suggestion for the next time. Borrow a friends cat if you don't have one. Cats will find anything that's loose in your house in minutes. BG had a cat that would go behind the racks and catch any rodent that BG would happen to drop(those hoppers can be slippery leeetle devils). She would bring it out to him in seconds.
