um may i ask why...?

I keep my snake in a 3 tiered encloser 5feet tall by 1 1/2 foot square. Its more than its required from what i have read.

You asked so here it goes..

Because it's in my bed room. It can not get under the door (Its to big) Its about 4 feet long, enough said.
I have an automatic door closer on the room. It shuts the door automatically behind me. It can never escape this room.
Now there are exceptions to its freedom. I keep live rats 4-6 a month. I do not allow it to be free when i have live rats in the room. After my snake has eaten all the rats, I turn him loose in the room (free to go where ever it wants).
I wait 2-3 weeks before buying any more rats.
There is method to my madness...

You were the one that started this by making your comments about letting your BP "escape" and roam your room freely! So actually you were the one that took the thread off track. And, now that other keepers are questioning your VERY QUESTIONABLE choices with the care of your animal you want to get all butt hurt and angry and tell them to get back on track!?

i do let my snake roam freely

OK, you let the snake roam free. I don't agree with your choice, but am not going to go on the attack. Anyway, lets end this here. It's spamming the thread and taking away from those trying to help the OP.

Back on topic, I've never found a missing snake more than 10 feet from its cage. I also suggest using tin foil if you have a carpet floor. It does the same thing as flour on carpet, and is easier to clean up. Just lay long sheets of it out (Shiny side down), and watch for snake trail shaped crinkles in the foil. I have a friend who has used this method a few times, and it always worked for him.

this is what i wrote...I do let my snake roam my room.

this was also posted on the link above but u may not have seen it since its on the 2nd page.
This is how i catch mine. Mine gets out all the time. But I allow it to , sometimes. Don't go out and buy this stuff just improvise with what you have handy.

Take F/T or live (bait) whatever yours eats, Put it in a aquarium with screen lid on it so the smell of the rat can get out. Then just get some plastic cups and put some coins in them and place them on top of the tank and or around it. Trust me it will Knock one of them over and wake you up.
You can variate the method to suit your needs.
You can also put cups of coins around the walls of the room since this is usually where they like to travel. Much like the plastic bags Ash mentioned, I just find that a cup of coins hitting the floor will pretty much wake the dead. You can also try using a fan to blow on the mouse so it will get the smell of the mouse throughout the house. Try setting the cups precariously at a tilt to where they are just about to fall over.
To even go simpler you could just put your bait mouse on a plate and place it on top of a cup of coins.

with a house that empty I would also use the flour method as mentioned above.
PM me if you like.


Good luck

It can never escape this room.

How can you go wrong with logic like that

[Nuttybuttercup]

Wow guys o.o no comment on the argument- but also still no luck yet. Later on tonight I'm going to check out the fridge and washer when my brother gets off work because I can't move them myself. Thanks for the support, I'll update tomorrow on whether or not he was hiding in the appliances. I do find it odd though that if he is in one that he has stayed there for like 3 days. I know bps are lazy but I thought mine was more active.
