Ball python in heating vent. Please help

[Jey5636]

my ball python Archie escaped from his terrarium today and is in my heating vent. I can see him poking his head up every so often.

Any ideas for luring him out? I don't have any f/t mice on hand.

Can you reach in and just grab him?

Now when you say heating vent, that's a very broad description. I'm still kind of confused.

[Jey5636]

it goes down too far. he gets spooked and goes in deeper.

Heating vent in what? A trailer?

Sounds like you may need a snack to entice him with.

And where are your vents at? We don't know what your house looks like is what I was trying to get at. Pictures would be the best bet.

Can you take a picture of the room and then the wall or ceiling or floor of the vent that way I can get an idea.

I've never been in a 3 story house with the exception of being in Europe and I'm sure the way they build houses is vastly different then ours.

In the 2 story houses that I've been in the vents are on the ceiling and that looks different from anything I've seen.
