ahh..you know what....how i lost my snake is so weird. I put her in a blank room!! Its a new room nothing in there. and I left the lid open.....then she has left me T___T I try to find where she could go but i couldn't see any hole the ceilling is all smooth...no holes at the windows and the doors...

Anyone have any other ideas...my royal last night decided to escape from her vivarium for the first time. I happened to wake up at 0200hrs to see her viv open, I searched my room top to bottom knowing that she couldn't escape from my room, I eventually found her coiled round some pipes behind a sealed area which I can't get into. Last night I managed to tempt her out with a mouse (eventually...was waiting for her to come out as much as possible as I knew she'd be wrapped around the pipes) there was only about 2 inches left inside when I decided to try and grab her and remove her, but she had a tight enough grip on the pipes I wasn't able to pull her the whole way out without fear of hurting her, she's now disappeared back in there. I've left mice, a heat pad and water in a tub outside the hole but it doesn't seem to be having an effect.
I can't damage the furniture that she is hiding behind because it is not mine to damage. I also don't to leave her as I have cleaners coming into my room daily who tolerate her in her viv!
Any other ideas??

Well i have had my baby amel escape last night from her viv and cant seem to find her anywhere, we are on a top floor apartment and the front door is a fire door so it could have gotten around that.

Basically i have set a bottle trap in the kitchen where it got out, it is about 10/12 inches long and a very quick little bugger.

I hope i find it soon :S

1 best way to find a lost snake is to make a comfortable place for it.
most snakes hates cold weather, so you can manage to get a hide and a heat pad underneath it and put it in a good place. then lower your room / house temps, and maybe the snake will come out looking for a warmer place and found the hide. im sure it wont get out again.. thadaa

Seal up all but one hole for her to get out of, use bottle method, if big enough, pushed up against her only exit. Eventually she will want to come out to look for food/warmth and will have to leave via the only exit available.

What a load of utter tosh. Please stop posting such rubbish all over the forum.

I have been keeping snakes for twenty years and have fortunately in that time only had three escapees. All three are still with me having been found safe and well (one after an hour, one after four days and one after two months prowling my room)


..mind, at least you bothered to write that post in English (except the last bit "booked it????")

Cheers
