This might present a bit of a problem....

I think we've all learned a valuable lesson here...
Hope you get him out soon!

Sheetrock is easy to work with. Make the hole bigger and go in and get him. Then repair the hole.

If you plan to cut it tomorrow if he doesnt come out, why not go ahead and cut it now to make sure he comes out? No need waiting an extra day on a "if".

I wasn't able to cut it earlier. I was working and wasn't able to stop working to start cutting holes in the wall, considering that it will be a time consuming process. In any case, I'm off work now and am trying to get him out. Situation unfortunately has only gotten worse.

I was able to get my phone inside to see where his head was...


After I stuck my arm in and tried to grab him, he made his way into another hole which I didn't know was in the area he was in and now, he is in between the door frame and the wall.

He looks comfortable and being a BP, food might not be the best way to get him out. I would try to get him out ASAP also because the longer he sits in there, the better the chance you will completely lose him. He could come out in the middle of the night and find another crevis, which in that case, you would destroy that whole wall looking for him and not find him there.

How did he get in the wall? I guess for me, I don't let my snakes ever crawl around on the ground in the house so it is hard for me to see this happening. When I go outside, I go in the middle of the yard where there are no trees, no bushes, and no holes because once their neck gets into or around something, it is over with trying to get them to back out. I have had to cut belt loops because a snake was too thick to go through a belt loop but decided it was going to anyways before I realized it.

My advice is, get him out as soon as you can. I hate that you have to wreck your walls to do this. I know you will probably learn a great deal from this experience. Unfortunately, mistakes have to be made in order to learn.

Good luck with getting your snake out. I hope he is ok.

I also don't let mine crawl on the ground without supervision. He was out of his tub this morning when I woke up. He escaped by pushing the end of his tub out of the rack and squeezed out, even with another tub on top of his. And managed to make it under two doors and into another room. Annnd then into the hole.

I'm just thankful that we looked in the hole while he was in the first part. If he would have crawled into the area in the door frame originally, I would have NEVER found him.

Thanks for the good luck wish.

[lasweetswan]

Good news just in. He crawled back into the original space where I can see him trying to grab him now!

[GoFride]

I'm hoping you get that little escape artist out of there with the wire hanger hook, and without having to bring out the toolbox to start cutting the wall! BPs can get themselves into such predicaments!

[kitedemon]

You might try a roller frame as a snake hook. Personally i'd tear the hole larger with my hands and lift him out.

It's been about 15 minutes now - do you have him yet?? Best of luck and hope the answer is positive!

Me, I woulda just cut into that first hole and made it bigger as soon as I'd spotted him in there. As Don pointed out, Sheetrock is super easy to use and that plus a popsicle stick and a bit of screening, well, instant wall. Or, as someone else mentioned, you could've cut a bigger box hole and simply covered it with a 4-outlet box or blank box cover. There are ways! But the important thing is that you get him out....

Waiting to hear!
