Something I never wanted to post... Heartbroken and needing help.

Hey all, i just went to the reptile show this morning and i had decided to take a few with me to show off and have sexed. Anyways I had bagged all the bps I was taking and the family and I headed out. We got to the show at 10 and as i was unbagging to show a friend my het pied girl i noticed she was ot in the bag. Her tub was left open to air out, so i'm at a total loss where or how she escaped. I can swear I put her in the bag but it's painfully obvious i did not. I have searched the intire house, under every couch, cushion, fridgerator, stove, bed, i even cut my $500 lazyboys bottom out searching. I also cleaned and searched my truck... Any ideas where elce i could look? Please dont hate on me or tell me how stupid i am cuz i already know

Any warm place, I have found my friends snake hidden in her shoes! Check all your shoes behind the rack or cage, any tiny dark places just keep looking, she will show up when's the last time she ate?

Shes eats mice, last week and refused lastweek... Shes normally really lazy so i hope i find her soon, my stomach is in knots. I have checked everywhere, shoes included. This is by far the worst i have ever felt. My stomach dropped when i opened the bag i swear i put her in with my other big male and when she wasent there i flipped out...

Get a ten gallon tank and suspend a heat lamp over it. Put a f/t mouse in the tank and leave it overnite. She should get drawn out to it by the smell.
If she eats live i guess just do that except without the heatlamp.
If you have hardwood floors sprinkle flour all over so you can see her tracks.

Got hardwood floors and flour trick is going to be in full effect tonight after yhe people from my sons bday party leave..

You can also try plastic bags instead of flour if you have areas with carpet that you don't want to get flour on. Also check her tub, check all the tubs, and make sure she's not curled up on the heat tape if you use a rack. She'll be somewhere dark and warm and tight.

How awful! My own mojave male got out and I couldn't for the life of me figure out how. It's the worst feeling in the world when you can't find them, and I nearly spiraled into a fit of anxiety to the point where I couldn't focus on anything else. Best advice is take a very deep breath, try to be calm, and just keep looking. There are a ton of great tips, some posted here already, and I'd suggest doing a forum search for other lost snake threads to get more. I found my mojo boy after I noticed the cat messing around with something behind the couch, and when my boyfriend's snake (The Dude a.k.a. friggin Houdini) has gotten out I've always found him in the middle of the night, hearing him crawling over some balled up cellophane and paper (We're very light sleepers). Don't give up, and don't beat yourself up over it. Take it as a learning experience to double check whenever you're moving snakes around or getting them out.

Hope you find her soon! I am sure she is somewhere curled up. Keep us updated

Did you say you thought you put her in the same bag as the big male?. Ball pythons have been known to be cannabalistic. Just saying. I mean its very unlikely but it has happened before
