weeping: ball python on the loose can't find anywhere

[punyhuman07]

well i went out to get some new bedding and stuff from local pet store when i came home i notice one of the lids on one of the tanks was lifted some how when i looked inside it was empty he was gone so my wife and i desroyed the house looking for him with no results i have a feeling he got outside because the bathroom that is connected to my snake room i'm redoing the floor and i think he got outside i'm so worried we looked for like 2 hours ripping the house apart i'm afraid if he did get outside the raccons and opossums will get him "weeping"

keep looking dont give up, I was in a similiar situation couple weeks back when one of my ball pythons (spider) escaped my racking system, 6-8 hours later I found him in my boys room crawling around between their mattress and the wall

put flour around the base boards, heat pad out with a hide and a rat in it any luck you will see where e is travelling or if he is seaking heat and hungry he will be in your floor hide good luck been there

I had a similar situation when my corn got loose but there was no chance it could've left the house. Keep searching mate, that's what I did with the corn. Keep us updated.

just finish the flour thing got a rat in a tank on floor and heat pad in a hide area it's suppose to get cold so i'm hoping this works

Dont give up hope. Most of the time the snake is not far away. Usually crammed into a area you'd never think they'd fit into. Check in shoes, under chairs, and inside furniture like couchs.

Sorry to hear about that....I hate that feeling, makes my stomach turn.

Hope he didn't get out and you're able to find him

sorry to hear that hes lost.. hope you find him. where do you live (cold winters?) im in canada this time of year my guy wouldnt last 5 minutes.. mind you i'd like to think the he'd be smarter than that and if there were a door open he wouldnt go near it.

anyway . keep us posted

He probably stayed in because of the cold(as stated above) so don't give up.

I agree. We all know their fondness for tight, warm spots. I'd check anywhere that may have a tight fit. Also, check under your refridgerator. I have heard of more than one being found there. Good luck and keep us posted.
