    It's gone

    Okaaaay. So my BP dissappeared during the day. I have 3 roomates terrified of snakes. Give me ideas of where to look fast before they learn and before I leave on my 5 day trip. -_-

    Look in places that are warm and dark, in tight crevices, etc.

    Rule nothing out. Check the tightest, darkest, and warmest places.

    Many people have found their escapees in their closet, shoes, boxes, even hanging clothes. Under and in couches(in the frame). In the back of the refrigerator.

    I have seen all of those listed.

    I just found him in the drawer beside my bed. I'm not sure why he escaped lol. It's actually kind of funny!

    I was so excited because I fed him yesterday for the first time since taking him over. He also left me a nice shed this morning. It's like a nice joke lol "look I'm actually here teehee"

    You should probably find out how it escaped, and fix that issue.

    Who cares about the why, its the how you should be worried about. Especially this time of year.

    Re: It's gone

    Glad you found him.

    I've lost snakes before and had some very close calls. Like ending up in my neighbor's house, half dead after the house sitter left the enclosure open (yes, I was livid). I'm fortunate that my neighbor's kids liked snakes and thought to return him.

    You're very lucky -- make sure you find out how he got out and fix it. Next time you might not be so lucky.

    Re: It's gone

    It was neglegence on my part. I fed him and didn't replace the weights (working on clips and locks). I'm just so Thankful and happy he didn't leave the room. Half my roomies are terrified of snakes. But everyone has met him and they're all very cool about it. But I brought him in as a surprise so the owner of the house would probably make me get rid of him if someone else found him...I'd cry if I had to do that. I've never loved a pet as much as I do this guy.
