    Trust me, I think just about all of us have lost a snake a least once. I've only done it once so far but I'm sure I'll do it again some day. I was stupid and didn't shut one of the tubs and found my spider a shelf or two down about an hour after I realized what I had done. Just keep a close eye out for your snake anywhere there might be some sort of warmth. As long as he doesn't get outside you should find him. One thing you can do is put flour or plastic bags on the floor.

    Oh, man. Lost snakes are the pits- so glad you found her! My brother is constantly losing his reti female. Dunno how he loses her, she's blind and is also a twelve foot snake. I imagine losing a little one is heart-wrenching! D:

    Again, so glad you found your baby! ^_^

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

    Check the TV, xbox power cord, hot water pipes, behind books, anywhere small and dark. I had a girl get out once and I found her in a tiny box that a thermostat came in the week before. She was just poking her head out to see what was going on! It sucks waiting for them to turn up. I've heard of people using duct tape. you can ball it up or lay it down near a feeder mouse or hotspot over night. Its a pain in the butt to get off the snake but with a bit of olive oil and some patients it will come right off.

    Thanks again for all the help and well wishes. I found her the same day i lost.her, she was chillin out under my speaker box under my back bench seat. No harm done thank god. But now i gotta bring this to light.. A few responces up I was told to use Duct Tape... Now I understand the trying to help amd i thank you for that, but Duct Tape?? I've seen horror stories from basic clear Scotch tape, I'd hate to see Duct Tape used to capture a snake... Please correct me if i'm stepping out of line but that just seems like a horible idea.. just sayin

    You're right, using tape of any kind is a Bad Idea. It's a horrible idea in an enclosure where you control the environment and can find the snake quickly if something does happen, but if the snake is escaped and gets stuck to tape (especially its head/neck) then it'll try and get away and then you'll have an injured, stressed, cold, escaped snake on your hands. Never ever use tape. Ever.

    All the olive oil in the world is not going to help your snake replace the scales it rips off it's body when it gets caught in the duct tape you put down.
