    Tips on LURING a missing snake out??

    My absolute favorite snake has escaped and I'm worried sick! I've looked for him everywhere, but he either got out of the house somehow or he's INSIDE something I can't get into.

    Does anyone have any tips on LURING him out of his hiding spot??
    (If it helps, he is definitely hungry)
    (Sorry if this thread isn't in the right section)

    I would put one in every room.

    Last night I put a mouse in critter keeper in one room, with a ring of sugar around it. The next day the sugar had been un disturbed. So yes, I'll probably try putting one in every room

    Where in the room have you been putting the mouse? In the middle, in a corner, along a wall?

    Last night was the first night I tried that trick. I put it in a corner of the room, right next to the closet (in case the snake was in the closet)

    Re: Tips on LURING a missing snake out??

    So sorry he went missing! I absolutely know the feeling bc a Arizona mountain kingsnake that I bought for my wife escaped on 9-9-15. We just purchased her the prior Sunday at the White Plains show. I did find her the same day. Anyhow, my recommendation is to turn off all the lights and of course, the tv and radio. Keep a flashlight in your hands and remain absolutely quiet. Good luck too!!!
    Stay in peace and not pieces.

    I did something similar, and used a line of stacked of coins (4 or 5 high) along the walls where I thought he'd travel. It works because you can see the coins that are disturbed, and if awake you will hear them get knocked over when it happens.
