Sad Day :(

Everytime I've had one go missing, they end up turning up less than five feet away from where they started, and in places you would never imagine they could fit. Really get in all the spaces right near the enclosure, you may be surprised what a tight space they can squeeze into. Really tear the area apart! I once found my adult male wedged between the bathroom cabinets and the wall, in a space I couldn't fit my fingers into.

I tend to catch them (I say tend, but there are exceptions) near to where they escaped.

Nighttime is the best time to go snake hunting.

Set up flour lines across doorways etc to see if he crosses them... and I also place tin can pyramides along the wall... clumsy snake butts tend to knock them over...

Sorry for the stress it is never fun (even though he probably will show up).

Flour lines sounds like a good idea. Hope you find your snake

A few weeks ago we thought we had lost our bp. The tank was securely closed so we couldn't figure out how she got out so we started searching my son's room, praying that she didn't get out of his room because my father is terrified of snakes, not to mention the three dogs. My son is 13 so his room is not the cleanest and searching wasn't easy but we cleaned the room as we searched...might as well kill two birds with one stone, right? About a half hour into it, I asked my son if he looked under the water dish because she has hid under it before. He said that there was no evidence of her digging under the the water dish and didn't feel a need to look. You never know so I made him look under the water dish and fortunately she managed to sneak under it without leaving a trace. Unfortunately though 1/2 hour wasn't long enough to clean his room!

I hope that you find your snake safe and sound somewhere very, very soon! Please keep us posted.

Well, I got up a few times last night and snuck around to see if I could find him...no trace.. My dad thought he heard him in his room under his bed, but he wasn't there. Thanks for all the input, i'm gonna try some of your tricks....

Luckily I know he can't crawl into my computer...as I have a laptop . I had checked the boxspring when i tore my room apart looking for him.
We will be moving completely into the new house this weekend, and i'm gonna leave his tank, on his side, with his heating pad and hide...incase he decides to come back into it. When I'm gone. Luckily this place is like 5 min from the new house, and the horses are here, so i can come back to check it out daily.

That stinks, Kim! I hope you find him, soon! There are members who have found their lost BPs months after losing them and one member even found his in a parking lot away from home! So, don't lose hope whatever you do.
