Missing snake.

[OneEyedFox]

So I know very well that snakes are escape artists and they tend to disappear without warning a lot. Well, my BP, Calliope has gone missing. This is the first time this has ever happened, the kid on her tank was on correctly when I went to go get her out to hold her while I play video games like I often do. I checked her cool hide, she wasn't there. Her hot hide is a bit bigger so I can't see her if she's in there just from looking, so I tend to have to pick it up to see her. Well I picked it up and... not there either. The house is very cold, so I have to keep a heat lamp on to keep her tank warm. She's not in her tank, and I can't find her. Has this happened to any of you guys? If so, how did it turn out?

Never happened to me, thankfully, but i would say look around the cage, in the smallest, and most hard to reach place you can imagine, and look in places where you think "there is no way she is in there", also, under appliances and dark places, thats all i can think of, but good luck finding her, and keep us updated please

Thanks, yeah I've been looking around everywhere since I noticed her missing. I just can't think of where she would be. I've been trying to think of warm places she could have gone to.

I'm mostly worried because we have two cats, a dog, and a turtle that roam freely around the house.

Ive read people saying how their snake was really close to the cage once they found it, maybe in or under a dresser, or in a closet, think warm, dark, and small places, how big is she?

She's tiny, she eats medium mice so if that gives you any idea. My bf also has a snake and he said this has happened to him a few times too and says not to worry about it, she'll turn up, but you know, this is my baby, I'm terrified she'll get hurt, or stuck, or something. She was supposed to eat the day after tomorrow too

Ohh, i totally understand, i know most people find their snakes, but i would die if i come home i cant find either one of my noodles. Just look everywhere until you find her, ive heard of people setting up a warm hide to lure the snake in, and also thawing mice or even getting a live one so that the snake comes looking for it, and also some people put flour on the floor before bed so they can see any snake tracks in the morning

Did you tear the tank apart completely to make sure she really wasn't in there? I would guess she would still be nearby since she probably found a close and dark spot. I had a corn get out when I was younger. Ended up two floors down in someone's apartment. Luckily we had told them she was loose and they called us when she was found to come get her.

I've been asking everyone that's come over if they may have gotten her out and lost track of her or something, but no one has said anything, and my little sister refuses to help look. I've asked everyone in the house (mom, boyfriend, little sister, and mom's boyfriend) everyone's said they haven't seen her. Sister refuses to help look or even look around in her room even though Calliope is small enough to slip under the cracks under our doors so she could very well be in her room. Mom isn't making that big of a deal, and her bf is trying to help look. I'm so worried.

Yeah there aren't that many places to hide in her tank, bother her hides are upside down now and there isn't enough substrate in her tank for her to burry herself. Her tank is on top of a dresser, we've looked in the drawers and around it (under it too) so far nothing. The lid to her tank was on correctly when I went to go get hr. Idk how she could have gotten out unless someone took her out and lost track of her, especially when the lid was on correctly and everything when I went to get her a few minutes ago.
