Wiggles, the Children's Python

[Homebody]

Nope, NOT fun! Have you turned your couch "inside out"? remove cushions, & turn couch over & check for any holes in the lining fabric that would allow him to go inside the couch? That's a favorite place that snakes gravitate to.

Yes. I did all that.

You've been "playing with fire" by letting him out so much (if you're anything like me, that is- I'm always multi-tasking & distractions get us in trouble!) & I wouldn't count on him "coming to you" but I hope I'm wrong. Good luck!

Yes. Clearly I've been giving him too much freedom. When I find him, he's going to be so grounded.

If he's in your couch, the scent of food might bring him out- but I would get fuzzies at least- with fur, they'll have more scent. You can always freeze them & serve them when he's bigger. (Just for the scent, getting one adult mouse might be even better- especially if it works- but just make sure it can't escape, & that he cannot actually get to it.)

Will do. Thanks for the tip.
