BP escaped - I'm joining the crowd! Need help!

I would check all your electronics, a corn of mine years ago got out and I found him inside my computer tower. If there's a chance you have any rodents I would look where they could be ie attic, garage or basement. Don't know how he could get into the attic but who knows we have heard about these snakes doing some amazing things. Good luck hope you get him soon

Did you check under dressers, and beds? Behind tv stands? Good luck.

Okay today we've:
Checked all the packed boxes we had, took everything out, then re-sealed them tightly & counted them out.
Took out drawers/clothes, checked all nooks & crannies of dressers, upright closets & under pool table & stereo cabinet = no snake...
Under the bed is clear & it's brand new, so no tears (checked as well) in the boxspring..checked to see if he was squeeeezed between the boxsprings & under the mattress itself & against the wall (this is right next to his enclosure).
Tore the sofabed apart for the 3rd time & took all cushioning off down to bare frame = no snake.
Searched computer desk, printer, tower, powerstrips, speakers, drawers...no snake.
Searched the fake ficus again = no snake.
Going to get fresh feeders & re-bait all "traps" tonight, AND try the tape trick, PLUS the water dish with flour around them in each room downstairs here trick...heck, I'll even line up pennies on the carpet to see if he slithers across them...Really don't know what else to do but WAIT & listen...
Thank you ALL for your ideas once again!

Check under your refrigerator if you haven't already. I was talking to my reptile shop one day about escapees in general and they said every one they've ever had get loose they have found under the fridge. Good luck!

My cousin's snake would always hide behind the microwave, so you could try there too.

[Leone]

Yeah, those places (the electrical appliances, etc) we've checked over & over again...the ONLY place we didnt look was up inside the w/d in the laundry room, but they're SO COLD! Was seriously hoping he'd come back to his hides & the heat...
We're gonna go p/u fresh frozen mice & re-set the "traps" for later, plus I'm gonna try the tape trick...I'm praying I just fell asleep & missed him lastnight!
Thank you all!

what about live lures? how big is he and what was he eating again?

[ExotixTowing]

Live bait is the best bait!! Had a burm open a window once and get to where we couldn't reach him.... Sacrificed a pet bunny. (caged) to get him to come out lol

No harm was done to the bunny

[Leone]

For the last few months he's been eating live adult mice...he did refuse the small rat I tried last week, so he's now going on 2 weeks Wednesday w/o feeding.
I'm going to keep what I have setup now tonight & get a couple pinkies tomorrow (they won't squirm out of anything, will they?) & try again.
It looks like he MAY have constricted the one in the plastic bottle because this am there was blood all over it's face...it wasn't like that at ALL when I put him there, but since I've neevr dealt with f/t, do they sometimes bleed like this?
I never heard the plastic shopping bag rustle that the bottle was on, so maybe it was the way it was killed...?
I'm just SO worried about him getting a RI...and he's such a little sweetheart, he must be scared to death all curled up somewhere. Breaks my heart.

Quite a few of the f/t rats I've used bleed from the mouth as they thaw.
