    And now start the search process all over again, since he could have moved since you first (or second or third) looked everywhere. Be patient, and just keep checking over and over again.

    Do you have a subwoofer? I remember someone found their snake in one once.

    My suggestion is to get on the floor by the tank and carefully look around for any place the snake might have gone. Double check your entertainment center. Most often the snake is only a few feet from its enclosure.

    Re: Help!! Ball got out last night!

    Probably won't find him during the day, he'll be immobile hiding in his spot. Best chance will be late at night when he's active.

    Try getting plastic bags and ball them up and put them around places that might be high traffic. The idea is that if he crawls over it, it'll be noisy.
    Remember that these guys are terrestrial, so they'll be traveling on the ground.

    You can put a bunch of plastic cups (like Solo cups upside down) across a threshold so you can see if he passed through that way.
    I read stories about a bp that was lost for 3 months before he was found...the fact that their food/water needs are pretty forgiving is good news.

    I wish you luck, let us know where you find him!

    Yes, and I'm pretty sure the lining is intact but I am going to get under there and double check.

    Re: Help!! Ball got out last night!

    I tried visualizing this problem in my room, and then thought about what you might have going on there. Maybe if you have a ton of shoes or boots. Or bags purses maybe the items in your closet extend close to the floor. Do you keep musical instruments in your room or sports gear or stacks of books? How close is your room to the bathroom?

    Also those were all rhetorical questions. Hope you find it!

    I always have found escapees in the dirty clothes pile! Double check all clothes and the bottom of the vacuum.
