Do not use anything sticky at all, thats just asking for bad results, ie death of your snake. Need to check every little spot you can think of, any thing that lets off heat, including appliances. Near his enclosure as well.

from my research on run-away snakes (that are found), i find they're never more than 10 feet from their home and rarely get too far. stay close to the enclosure, and look in places you'd think they cannot possibly be. you gotta think outside the box a bit to find where a snake might go.

Re: Is a snake trap is humane to catch a lose ball python
It may sound ridiculous but YEARS ago I heard of someone being successful with the following method:
They spread flour all over their kitchen floor in a light coating and placed a live feeder rat in a Rubbermaid bin in the center of the room with numerous holes all over the bin....and sure enough the BP was circling the bin in the morning figuring out how to get at the rat.
The flour leaves any trails he created obviously if he checked out the bin and decided to head out of the area.
It may or may not work, but I can't think of anything as a method besides checking warm areas. DO NOT USE A STICKY TRAP.

That sounds absolutely ingenious. The solutions some people come up with. I think Clyde escaped in order to hunt down the last mouse I couldn't catch.

Genius, I am doing exactly this next time a snake escapes.
