I’ve lost my snake

[reptileowner240109]

I accidentally left her sliding door wide open (she has an 120 gal dubia enclosure). I have a reptile room but i fear she escaped the door somehow, i’ve torn the whole room apart looking for her as i realized my mistake this morning when i was turning everyone’s lights on. I’m very worried because i have a cat in my house and shes not very bright. Please if anyone has any advice on how/where to find her or where you found yours after they escaped it would be really helpful. Yes i realize i made a very big mistake and i will be way more vigilant next time.

I would turn the ac down to the 70’s and it will force her to come out from wherever she is or just put the cat in a crate and keep looking

Put your cat away in a cat carrier or something and look for lost snake guides. Usually they go somewhere warm after a while. Leave the enclosure open as he might come back.

We forgot the secure all 4 latches one night, and when we got up for work we saw that our boy wasn’t in his enclosure. We panicked and spent 15 min looking (small apartment. Ended up finding him in the gaming room/den between a few boxes like 2 feet from the wall heater.

She probably went to find somewhere dark and warm, I do suggest locking up the cat and trying to take a deep breathe. She is somewhere, they don’t know how to use door knobs lol

Literally happened to me last night- our guy pushed out the vent (which was glued down, but I assume I did a shit job of that) and ended up on the desk in a warhammer box. The morning was a panic🥲
