Please help, I lost my snake in my car :(

[yellowbelly76]

Yeah I'm positive he put it into the bag right in front of me & gave me his personal number if I had any questions :/

I know this doesn't help your situation, but...since you have the breeders number, you might want to call him and let him know what happened, and suggest that he "package" the snakes a little more securely in the future. Don't be accusatory and hostile, but say it as a suggestion in order to prevent this sort of thing from happening to someone else. The reptile shows I got to in PA, the breeders almost always have the snakes in plastic containers with lids (with holes in the lids)...they are like the containers you would get at a deli for potato salad. It would be really difficult for a snake to get out of them...of course, I don't know what they do with larger snakes when someone buys one. I really hope that you can find him/her!!

This happened to me a year ago. I lost my python in my car in the dead of summer and knew he would overheat in the car. After 5 days I bit the bullet and took my car to a small mom&pop body shop and told the owner honestly what is going on. I gave him a real snake bag with a tie, I got a rental car to go to work, and a few hours later I get a call from them saying they can see the snake all the way up in the dash and that he will be free soon. Another hour later and they had him safe in the bag, and I picked him up that afternoon. Body shops know how to take a car apart and put it back together, and they saved my python for me.

Just give it a shot if your snake does not turn up soon.

I went to Mazda and told them about the snake they said they would charge $90 an hour for labor looking for it. A guy came out and told me he could pull out a couple things quickly just to look because I don't have that kind of money. After not finding her he took me to the back service area with a couple other service guys and we literally tore my car apart. I helped look through it was funny because the guy helping me is scared of snakes and the other guy didn't like anything that crawled so everytime he pulled something off he jumped out and handed me the flashlight saying "here look!" She wasn't anywhere in the car we looked through everything. My interior was in pieces. I'm so thankful for him helping though and not charging me.

I really wish this post had a different ending. Even though I just got her I had an instant connection and knew that she had to be mine and now she's gone I keep thinking I'm going to see her little head pop out of somewhere and I can just catch her and hold her again. I'm so upset and guilty, I just wish this wouldn't have happened to me. There's nothing else I can do though I'm almost 99% sure she's not in my car, I wish she was but that's not the case. I just hope she got out and someone found her and she's going to have a new home. Thank you everyone for all the advice, tips, everything I really appreciate it. I just held out hope for so long because all the stories I've read we're successful.

Is it possible that she hitched a ride out of something you took out of your car?

[aLittleLessButter]

Did you have a purse or backpack with you that day that she could have climbed into? She could be in the house now?

[Laurenmassx]

No I've checked everything :/ I had a small purse but that was the first thing I checked.
