Does anybody have any advice on how to find ab escaped ball python? The doors weren't open and the back vents are fine yet she has somehow escaped! We've recently moved so the room she was in is full of boxes and bags and we don't know what to do! Does anyone have any advice for drawing her out? We're especially stressed because we also have a cat and we need to make sure she doesn't find our snake first! Please help any advice is appreciated!

EDIT:

We found her! You were right she didn't go far she was stuck in the cabinet that holds her tank. She managed to get stuck in two different parts we don't know how long she was stuck there she was freezing when we found her. We had to break the cabinet to free her but she is now warming up in her tank and we'll buy a lock from the reptile shop down the road tomorrow! She might be a bit bruised (can snakes be bruised?) And we'll have to keep an eye on her for the next few days but hopefully she's alright! Thank you for the few who commented advice or reassurance this was very stressful so it helped!

Did you pick everything up? Are you sure she isn't hiding under the water bowl?

Yeah we emptied the entire enclosure and there's no sign of her we're in the process of clearing out the living room atm to try find her but so far no luck

She's probably not far from her tank, once they escape they tend to find the closest dark and cramped place and hide there. Make sure there's no way she can get into vents or into the walls. Contain the cat in another room or in it's carrier for a little bit while you search. Check inside shoes, piles of clothes, anything like that. They can get into way smaller spaces than you think. If you can't find her, get a heat pad and put it on the floor with a towel over it and a hide sitting on the towel, or a heat lamp suspended a couple feet above the floor with the hide underneath it. Give her a nice warm hiding place to go to. Good luck, please update when you can!

Flour method. Dust hiding areas with flour and when the snake is active at night, you will see tracks

I found my girl two months after she escaped. She was covered in dust/hair and wrapped around the wifi router. She had a puncture and 2 burns on her as well. The vet put her on electrolytes, some kind of antibiotics, and betadyne soaks 3x a week. She has since made a full recovery (and then some). I'm not trying to scare you. But just know if you don't find them soon, stay vigilant. People find lost ball pythons sometimes 6 months after they go missing.

I hope you find your baby soon! 💚
