    Unhappy Sssophie is gone.

    Well, frankly I feel I have no one to blame but myself.

    Was on an out of town trip for business and also got me a new Spider BP.

    I was out for 3 days, when I got back last night, I had to move the new BP to a bigger temporary tub, I was on a separate room for quarantine purpose so I decided not to check on the little one on the reptile are I have till this morning.

    When I checked it, the snake was gone...

    Since it is in my pateo, it has easy access outdoors. I will continue on searching tonight where he will be more active. Since I live in a compound, I am a lot of real estate to cover. Sadly, there is also access to canals etc.. so there is a chance really that she is gone :-(

    My temporary tank for her had a sliding glass door with no lock. I used a paper in between to wedge it locked but someone, I think my nanny and other nannys with my kid and inlaws kids wanted to check her out. The lock was not there this morning anymore :-(

    So so so so devastated when I found out... :-(

    She was a month old, my first BP, a good eater. Everything that you can ask for from a BP :-(

    Re: Sssophie is gone.

    She very well might be closer then you think. I read somewere that ball pythons will normally only travel and average of 10 feet (correct me if im wrong). I lost my pastel recently and found her on the top shelf of my bookshelf next to her tank. Just make sure to look in all the spots she could possible hide. maybe utilize baby power in key areas. Something i was going to do but didnt end up doing because the same day the guy was supposed to come i found my bp. I posted an ad on craigslist asking for a hunting dog, one that would not hurt my snake if found but could sniff it out. I had a previous shed. So a guy contacted me saying his dog would find it. And that she wouldnt hurt it just point at it. (he was worried my snake would hurt his dog lol) He told me as long as it wasnt in the air conditioning ducts his dog would find it even through walls. so you can maybe give that a shot when your desperate. oh and i offered to pay if it was found. I hope you find her!
