Help my bp escaped from her tub

[potatofloss]

I'm freaking out. My 9 month old BP escaped from her locked, bungee tied tub. I'm tearing my house apart. I've looked in every dark warm place I can think of. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!

can you describe the room that the tub is in? When was the last time you seen it?

I've unfortunately had this happen twice to me. They plan their escape at night when security is sleeping but will hide during the day. So if your BP went missing last night, it probably found a warm place to lay low and is probably on the move again. I'd start looking again and begin from the tub again. Best of luck.

BTW the first time I lost one, she was found in some moving blankets I had under the stairs and the second time my little guy was behind a box on the cold concrete floor.

I took her out just last night!! I went to feed the snakes today and she was gone! She was in a 30ish Quart Iris tub, locked on both sides with a bungee wrapped on the top. Everything was still closed!! I have no clue how it is even possible. . . .

Check where the handles are on the sides of those tubs, if I'm not mistaken there's a small gap underneath. I have a similar tub that I use as a feeding bin and one time my 200g girl poked her head out and could have easily escaped had I not been there. If your BP is fairly large it could possibly have done it with sheer force, it surprising how much strength they have when motivated.

If you have any frozen rats on hand, thaw one out and rub it along the base boards in the room your BP escaped from. After that, leave the mouse overnight in a tub with an extra hide in it. Turn out the lights and check the tub on a regular basis. If it doesn't work the first night, keep trying. You also might want to warm up the house a little if you can, just to be safe.

believe it or not... check near the fridge... those things put out a lot of heat on the bottom and back... Also might want to check near computers and tvs... basically anything that emits heat

Any luck yet?

I had had the 2 snakes escape from me and the best thing I found was using Scotch tape, sticky side up and putting it along all doorways and areas where u think they may have gone.
