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!:bash:
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

WOW alot of you lose your snakes :lol2:

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

I lost my 4 month old corn last night - she hadn't even escaped! I was handling her and got distracted for a matter of seconds and when I went to look for her on my lap, she was gone! I've set up 3 of these traps and I've put out a bag of spare bedding on a heat pad because I've noticed a few people have been finding their missing snakes there. I've also left out her favourite house on top of a heat pad and made my room as cold as possible in an attempt to entice her to the heat pads. I really hope I find her. My step dad doesn't know I have her and I don't even want to think about the consequences if he found her!
Wish me luck?

Good luck, hope you find her. I thought that i would post this here, although my other half posted it in a thread of it's own last year, it might get a few more views in this thread and give people hope. One night last summer i went downstairs to the bathroom and as i walked through the hall something caught my eye, i turned on the light and to my suprise there, with it's head stuck in a bowl of dog food, and a large chunk of said dog food in it's gob, was the Corn that escaped as a hatchling a little over 3 years before. It was definitely the same snake and not a neighbour's or another that moved in, as we picked her because she had a slight kink in her tail. She was a wee bit on the slim side but apart from that in perfect health, we defrosted a fluff and as soon as she'd crammed the pedigree chum down, she took it straight away. She was over 3 feet long. This is all the more suprising as we live in an ex council house and do not have central heating. Resourceful little buggers arent they?!
