you can also set a shoe box up against the wall were you think the snake is at and place a heat pad under it. most of the time it works. its a dark warm place for the snake. but dont forget to make the hole for the snake lol. good luck trying to find your snake
Thanks but i do not have any heat pads available. ( I use heat lamps ) How do i go about scenting something. Is it as easy as leaving the rodent in there.
well for ball pythons they need more belly heat then the heat lamp. the heat lamp will reduce your humidity which is not good. i would strongly suggest you get a UTH and get rid of the heat lamp. the UTH will give you all the heat you need for your snakes cage. but you also need a rheostat/thermostat, whichever you can get. it will be alot better for you and your snake.
i would buy and mouse and most pet stores give you a lil box to put the mouse in with holes but you can poke more, and just leave it in the box and put it in the shoe box with the hole for your snake
ummm leave a thawed or a frozen one in there but leave it in there too long or it will smell but it might not work as well as a live mouse. you can buy a live one and once you catch your snake you can put the mouse in the freezer
Maybe do another thorough search?
Go back over all of the places you've searched already, then continue to look for places you haven't checked.
They love to find warm places but if they don't find one normally they will curl up in a ball and wait it out.
Good luck finding the lost one
