Both times he escaped I found him in my base board heating in my bathroom, and at the exact same spot the second time too! These snakes are very crafty at escaping. You will find him, just hang in there!
This may sound crazy [and you will pardon me because I *am* losing my mind, here] but I called a pet psychic/remote viewer guy and hie said Alice is just fine, inside furniture somewhere *not* 'very warm', he's not hungry [great..tapewormy wild mice] and is very very happy where he is.

[that little revelation infuriated me...I'm dying here and he's livin' large]

He told me not to bother ripping the furniture apart [which I did, anyway] because he's only going to come out when he's good and ready.

He also told me to not seal up the holes I've found because he's using them to come and go as he pleases.

He said the mouse offerings were pointless as Alice was not needing fed and that it would be 'weeks' until he decides to show up.

I was very skeptical until, in mid-sentence about the snake, he suddenly asked who the 'brown haired man near me' was [hubby] and then asked what was 'going on with his business".

[nothing great, actually...the economy has crushed it]

I mentioned neither thing to him.
Totally talked only about the snake.

[?!?]

Then he told me some sort of scary but good news about that.

When you call these people, you get *one* topic or you're charged extra.
I specifically stuck to the snake issue.
He brought up hubby and also told me about my 'way with animals' which was weird, because if that were actually working right now, why would I be calling him?

I'm not sure how much it was worth beyond the cost of the call, but I feel more optimistic, now.

And it does jive with Alice's recent, increasing annoyance with his lack of 'leg room'.

[because a 40 gallon breeder tank isn't enough for "The Midnight Slider", apparently]
