Okay so.. My son just got a python. 3 day's ago.. We had it in the living room.. Well since the central air is colder downstairs.. I suggested he moved him to his room.. Well needless to say it got out..

"Needless to say" ???
If your son can't be responsible, than YOU are responsible.
Just that simple.

Hope you find it.

I haven't got to look for it since I'm at work.. I'm figuring he's in that room.. Since the door runs hard against the carpet.. I heard put water or mouse or something in a box.. And he will come?

The best thing to do... Is wait, honestly it is scary to lose a snake or any pet for that matter. I lost my baby Cali king before 😱 imagine that, a little 16 inch worm lost in the house. Yes it was harmless for the most part but it was still lost. Yet we waited and about 4 days later my younger sister found it in her room 😂😂. There's plenty videos on YouTube to help out, they'll all say the same thing though. Telling you to look in warm spaces, using dead mice and rats to draw him out, laying tinfoil or plastic bags in tight spaces so you can here it, etc. Best of luck! Hope you guys find your snake!! 👍👍

Try leaving the computer and actually looking around. You can put down flour or sugar or something that will be disturbed if he moves around but snakes will get into tiny spaces so you need to tear the room apart and look.

I had a Brazilian Rainbow Boa go AWOL for three weeks. I found him in the snake room getting a drink from a water bowl I'd put on the floor.

If this is a young ball python then keeping a small live mouse in an escape-proof cage may lure him out. Ball pythons are most active from dusk to dawn, that's when they naturally hunt, so if you or your son sits quietly in the room you may hear the snake moving around at night.

You can try a heat lamp point on floor. They will be in every spot you think they cant get to heat vents shoes behind everything...my first corn snake escaped on me for an entire year living in my basement..he was twice the size when he showed up in the laundry basket.dont give up and look everywhere.

I understand that.. I asked him to take it upstairs.. He knew how important it was to make sure lid was secure.. I hope I find it as well..
