    Saharan sand boa escape!

    Agh. I had a screen lid on the bin that I would've sworn she couldn't push up, or even try to, but apparently she did. Where would a burrowing type snake hide?! I looked under everything, and I left a heating pad out underneath a shelf, hopefully she'll seek out the heat. My house is the most cluttered thing in the world, and it's got a huge, equally cluttered, basement.
    She's not an aggressive feeder by any stretch, so I doubt I'll find her with rodents, and sand boas barely drink, so I won't find her by leaving water out either.

    Sorry to hear that. I'm not familiar with sand boa habits, so the best I can suggest is start looking right around the enclosure and work your way across the room.I am assuming that being a burrowing snake that it would look for the darkest, tightest space to squeeze into...Good Luck

    All of my searching and furniture moving was useless. She was nowhere to be found.

    BUUUUT just earlier tonight she crawled out of a box right next to me, haha. She's back in her bin now, with a much tighter fitting lid! Thanks for the help, even if eventually she just found me, haha.
