Help...my baby's gone

[Amaress]

Somehow or another my ball, Paris, managed to open the locking mechanism on his cage and open it. I wasn't home at all yesterday, but he was in there the day before. Today, cage was open just enough for him to get through and he's gone. I've looked everywhere around my room and around his cage, but I can't find him anywhere.

Outside my room the hallway is completely slate, and the furnace hadn't been on at all for a couple days, so I imagine it was cold, no matter what time he left. The rest of the house except for bedrooms (doors shut, he couldn't fit under the doors, I've seen him try) and the living room (which is pretty far from my room) the rest of the house is the same cold slate...

Any ideas on how to find him? I've been watching the cat pretty close, figuring he'd give Paris away, but he hasn't yet...

[Amaress]

Oh...he's about one year old, and somewhere in the ball park of 2 and a half feet long

Just like i told the other person with the escapee.Sprinkle flour around the corners of the room and just watch for his slithering tracks.Just follow them and you should find him.

any luck with your escapee?

[Amaress]

Nope, not yet. I'm pretty sure he's in the kitchen though, because the cat is sitting in the middle and occassionally going crazy and hissing at the cupboards. I looking inside themall and inside everything in them, but he doesn't seem to be in there. I'm going to have my boyfriend take apart my stove tonight, before I try to cook anything, to make sure I dont make him for dinner too :\.

Good luck, amaress. You must be worried sick. I would be too, but it'll all be okay, you will find him

[Freakie_frog]

Get him to check under the cabnets

How to find your lost ball python:


Sit in the middle of somewhere that you can be heard in all parts of your house. If your female and your bp is male, it helps to cry a bit at this point, not to much, but just a bit.

Then, tell your bp if it doesn't come back this instant your taking his brand new cage and that hide that he really really likes back to the store and you'll only buy him gray (or white, whichever he/she hates) mice from now on.

Wait appox. 10 minutes and your bp will mozy on out from where ever he was and piss off the cat to get your attention. ^^

Least, it worked for me.
