Default Now I've Learnt My lesson

Apparently western hognoses can push the lids of cricket boxes. Mine has managed to escape into my room, which is in the loft and contains spaces behind the walls and i have a feeling she's gone in there. I haven't seen her since. I'm currently in the process of making some of hammerman's traps, i hope they work.
Has this happened to anyone else? Reckon she'll come out when she's hungry enough?

Oh yes!!!! Not just the hoggies that can do it im afraid, all young snakes seem to be great escape artists!!

I keep all my hatchlings in their boxes, inside a viv now...makes life so much easier!!

Good luck...hope you get your snakie back!!

I wouldnt worry about that. He dosnt pose a threat to you unless of course you are infact a frog that has learnt to type. A bee or a wasp is more dangerous to humans that a western hognose. Hope you find him.
