My baby escaped!! :((

[Trisnake]

Once, when my friend was letting his sugar gliders out to get some exercise, one crawled into the hole where the fan connects to the ceiling. He normally doesn't mind them climbing on the fan because they would then usually launch themselves and glide somewhere else, but this time was different. It took us about an hour and a half to get the baby out, but were eventually able go lure her out with raspberries.

I know it's a way different situation since it's not a snake and we actually saw where she went, but with that being said we were probably very lucky, even under those circumstances.

I think you've done most of what you can with the hides and flour and stuff, especially if you take into account what TurkeyPython said, so I'd say start double checking: if there's a laundry room near your room, I'd check there first. There's lots of warm tight spaces for a snake to squeeze into. Look behind and underneath everything. And until you find him (or, until you definitively wont) I would avoid using the washer and dryer. If he/she is back there they can easily get burned or even crushed if you have a machine that hops (like mine does).

How big was the snake when he escaped? If it's just a baby it could very well still be somewhere in the basement, it would be a long and tiring journey for a baby to climb a flight of stairs vertically, possibly moreso if they're smooth vs carpeted. At least in my novice opinion. I would still check the rest of the house though.

Also, I need to ask; how is the husbandry with your enclosure? And what kind of enclosure do you keep him in? In the mean time of waiting for your snake to show up again, I would fix the issue that allowed him to escape in the first place.

I hope you find your baby, I would be worried sick if I were in your situation. Keep us updated and good luck!
