Baby Ball Python Escaped!!

Why not try putting a heat mat with some paper towelling over it regulated with a tstat and leave it at a nice temp with a nice secure hide, it's worthy trying everything, just check everywhere is my main advice, hope you find your BP soon! Good luck

Oh that's a great idea! I didn't think about putting a heat mat under his hide. I'm seriously going to try everything guys. So keep shooting ideas lol.

Just make sure you connect it to a thermostat, I've also heard of people putting down flour so that you can see if the snake has moved through the flour.. Then you'd have an idea of what room/place he is in.

I'm really hoping he's close by his tank.

It seems they usually are. Not all the time, but a lot of the time it seems like they show great persistence in getting out only to crawl 6 feet and curl up in whatever they find.

Doublecheck everything within 6 or 7 feet of the tank, even places you are sure he cannot fit in.

The only two snakes I lost were found in a moving box with a bunch of stuff in it, and behind some cardboard that was leaning against a wall.

The snake is in the one place you haven't checked. Wherever you think they couldn't have gone, they are there. I've heard of snakes being found in laundy, in subwoofers. Basically get on the ground and pretend to be the snake. they like to travel along walls and are just looking for a secure place to hold up. Generally they don't move a whole lot once they find a good spot. I've found all my snakes within hours of escape.

My corn has gotten out several times and he was always in the entertainment center that the tank is in. There is a hole in the back for cords and he crawled through and just hung out there for however long he was out (I was out of town). He was completely fine and healthy and ate his first rat pup.

Check EVERY crevice mate!, they can get in socks, under your bedframe, in your computer lol, anywhere.
But your best bet is warm spots.

This is his set up (the top and the 4 screen top clips aren't shown, but obviously it doesn't matter because it was working for 4 months up until my brother forgot to clip them back on). It's a 30 gallon, but it's really tall so I figured it would work well with him since it isn't too much space.

Have you checked all them draws? Move everything? I would literally just scan the whole entire room everywhere from corner to Corner, and since you have tile floor you should try putting some flour down or something over night to see if he has moved through it, when you do fine him buy some clips so that there is 0% chance of a next escape.

Pretty enclosure. I wish I could be there to help you. I have panic attacks when my snakes have escaped and the only thing I can focus on is finding them. They get found pretty quick lol.

Just pretend you were the snake, where would you go? windowsil, along the wall, into the desk, piles of laundry. Wedged underneath something. In a box. shoes. etc. etc.
