    Carpets are arboreal . . . you're going to need to be thinking like him and look for warm and high places. Not your typically low and hidden. I would try putting a heat lamp out on a high curtain rod, or bookshelf where the snake might be attracted to.

    Well, it's now 5:27 in the morning, and I just woke up to the sound of my favorite expensive porcelain cat falling from its shelf. I look up, and guess who the culprit was.

    So she's back, in one piece, no scratches, cuts, bruises, or anything. Just a fun night on the run. The cat, if you were wondering, is reparable. Of course she couldn't knock over the NOT porcelain things. Like a wooden picture frame.

    Oh well. Thanks for your help anyway, guys.

    Glad you found her. It sounds like you need to retire that cage

    This has nothing to do with the dog. Pits get a negative stereo-type from comments like this. My pit is a big sissy. She would pee herself if a snake struck at her.

    To the original poster...look high. Carpets like to climb.

    Thank you. Just because she CAN hurt the snake doesn't mean she WILL. Anyway, I found her, so crisis averted.

    Glad you found her. It sounds like you need to retire that cage
    Yeah, definitely. I planned on getting her a PVC cage, just need to actually get the money for it. Depending on what I get in the trade for her, my lazy, far less inclined to escape ball may go to her cage until I get the PVCs.

    Not what i meant at all. jinx had posted above me that he would be more worried about the dog biting the snake. I look at her sig and see she has a pitbull. So i just put pitbull > snake to agree with what jinx had said. Then i saw she wrote the thing about the dog being a sissy. If she had a poodle i would have put poodle > snake. The dog being a pitbull has nothing to do with the price of tea in china, or however that saying goes lol. For the record im a huge fan of pitbulls and any other bully breeds. My family has a german shepherd now, and plenty of people have been leery of her over the years. Not as bad as pitbulls though.
    And even if someones dog is a sissy how would they know how the dog would react if a snake strikes at them? I mean im sure my dog would start barking like crazy and run away too but you dont know for sure.
