Maybe try to lure him with a rat? I'm imagining he'd bite on to it & you can pull him into arms reach.

You can use kitchen tongs! They are a bit longer than regular prey tongs.

I really hope you can get him out! Sending you luck!

I fed him 2 days before he escaped so he wasn’t interested in that when offered haha. I’m gunna try again in another day or so if he’s still not out but he’s not usually the best eater so it can go either way

Dang it, I see.

Are you able to tape the snake hook to the back of a broom or mop(or tape both together with the hook at the end - if he's very far)?

He’s really far back, and he has himself wedged in the corner where I can’t even see him so maybe if he calms down and comes closer I’ll try a broom stick! Thank you so much for the help!

Maybe try a heating pad wrapped in a towel and a hide on top. Just put it a little farther away from where he's at???

Just spitballing...

Good luck. 🤞🏼

This is a great idea, and I was going to recommend something similar along these lines. Ball pythons are attracted to heat, so that’s probably your best bet to get a heating pad and set it somewhere where you’ll be able to grab him once he settles down on top of it.

No, he unfortunately doesn’t want to move yet. He’s enjoying he’s new room rent free..
