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

[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.

I know this is a huge longshot, but have you looked in his enclosure again? I know someone on here "lost" their bp a while back and he was crammed inside a little hole in one of the tree type decorations in his tank.

Anyways, I wish you luck! I don't now what I'd do if my little guy got out D: I'd probably lose my mind.

Sometimes they bury themselves

Yes...I took the opportunity to remove all bedding & sanitize it while he's been gone. Just waiting for him to put back into it now!

No luck. I'm whipped emotionally & physically. Just laid out sifted flour in each room with a warm bowl of water inside each area. Will lay out the tape strips soon. Had to make sure it was "el cheapo" tape that wasn't too sticky...sure don't want to hurt him & stress him even more.
Gonna be a long night, but hope it'll pay off for us...if we don't get him tonight, it'll be pinkies added to each area too along with tape, etc...
Actually looking for a retired/active search dog to com ein & just FIND HIM! Seriously...this is killing me inside to know he's out hee all alone...
