Ok. I am all for getting your snakes out and handling them, mixing things up and giving them some exercise... But, purposely letting your snake get out of it's enclosure(whatever that may be) and then losing it for 2 days seems ridiculous and totally irresponsible. Snakes, and ball pythons specifically, are known for escaping and hiding. They can easily hide, get stuck and injure themselves. Your snake probably seemed cold and dry because you let it get into an unhealthy situation. It WAS cold an it WAS dry.
I work with every one of my animals every single day. Dogs, parrot and snakes. My number one priority is always their safety. If the animals might get into an unsafe situation and I can't keep my eye on them then I put them away.
