Re: Missing snake.
 
So I've looked through my room as best as I can right now, and I'm certain she isn't in here, I asked my eight year old sister multiple times to go through her own room, and she is DETERMINED that Calliope isn't in there even though my sister hasn't been home all day and Calliope is small enough to fit under the cracks under doors. This is my sisters room.

Lol, I'm knee deep in eight year old child toys looking for her. My sister had a really bad attitude problem, idk why I thought she'd want to help look for her. I did tell her that since she isn't helping she won't be allowed to hold her anymore, and she really likes to hold her.

Re: Missing snake.
Well I've gone through every place I can think of, behind my fridge, washer, and dryer, tore up my room, did as much as possible in my sisters room, my bathroom is pretty bare so there wasn't much there, gonna check in mom's bathroom, and bedroom, if she isn't in there, I'm gonna wait a while before looking again.

Seems like a good idea. Try to use the flour overnight, and maybe even use a feeder to lure her out

Places I've found my snakes
#1 Under the couch
#2 Under the stove (he came out when I started baking cookies)
#3 Under big pillows that are on the floor, leaning on the wall
#4 in the middle of the kitchen floor (which is warm because my apartment is right over the boiler room)
#5 Climbing the power cord for his light back to his own cage
#6 On top of the bag of mulch under his table
Yes, I know that seems like a lot, but I've owned several snakes over the last couple of years. I go to fill a water bowl really quick, and they're gone. I doze a little too deep and they're gone. They get too strong for 2 clips, and I need 4 clips. They are sneaky little guys for sure!
I haven't lost one all they way yet! It took Harvey 9 days to climb up his cord looking for food. I do set out bowls of water.
USE A FLASHLIGHT, since they are shiny!
#7 I've Had an African House (aka little itty bitty) girl who climbed out the breathing holes in her carrier, and she's in my car right now! This was 3 days ago. I'll keep you updated. Lesson learned, cover her carrier with a light cloth!

Thank you so much, this makes me feel a lot better that I'll fine my girl.

Re: Missing snake.
Owning snakes is very different, so we don't come with childhood experience. I'm always learning, and that's why I love this website. It's not like we can go to snakey training classes like people do with their puppies! Right now I have Harvey. I've had him for a year and a half because he was a "special needs" snake in that he was a bit of an :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r:. He needed to be trained to be friendly for a LONG time. I've realized now that he is always going to be mine!
The rest of my group (5 others) have been trained to be nice, to eat well, and to sit still when being held. They went to handicapped or ill children by donation. These kids were allergic to traditional furry animals. So, I have experience with lots of newbies who will chase for an exit. As they get older, they don't try so hard. Harvey is very content in his big enclosure getting regular meals and regular spa treatments. He stopped hissing a long time ago, but I love him so much that I'm just gonna keep him. I have never been bit by him, I just didn't like his attitude and I wasn't willing to give him out.
I'm still watching for Cecily, and I am afraid she ran right out of the car. That said, I am going to take apart part of the dash of my Mazda today to see if she is there.
