Loose snakes

[tropheusfreak]

I was wondering how many people here actually has lost a snake? I'm 29 and was able to start keeping snakes around the age of 9 and I have never had an escapee. I was reading quite a few posts on forums about how many people can't find their snakes. So just how common is it? I had a breeding pair of tokay geckos get out and gone missing for 18 months but never a snake. I did eventually find the tokays under the refrigerator I found a baby tokay under the couch one day and one hanging on the inside of a closet door and a baby on the side of a fish tank. So over the course of 18 months out the produced at least 3 eggs and they hatched. We just found a baby under the couch last night.

A ton of times! 99% of the time they go under the computer or into the closet.

I've had less than handfull of escapes and zero losses. Generally due to keeper error.

My male escaped one night on us. We didnt even know he had escaped though.
I woke the kids for school and my youngest who is very hard to get going decided she was going to crawl in our big chair and test my patience with her ( a morning ritual we just cant break) and she moved a backpack that had been left there and screeched very loud and then became speechless! I went running to her and she pointed trying to stutter the word snake, so I lifted the backpack and there lay all coiled up and cute Slinky. He had used a small xmas tree I set next to his house and made his way to the chair.

i kept my first bp in an ap cage for a while--the cage had a hole in the top of it for cords/lights and whatnot. this hole was seemingly too small for nellie to fit through but i covered it with a glass vase thing that was full of rocks and water and held some bamboo (very heavy). somehow though she mananged to get her nose far enough through the hole enough to push the vase off of the cage (BIG mess on the carpet) and she then squeezed herself out though the opening. she was found the next day wedged between the cage and the wall.
