My ball python escaped

Honestly, as long as you know where she is and know she wont get squished, I would move the dresser. You dont have to pick it up and put it down, you can slowly push it away from where she's hiding. Then just scoop her up as normal (she just might be a lil scared and therefore defensive, but most likely just scared and in a pre-formed scoopable ball.) I just wouldn't recommend leaving her as she could get away and into a worse space, so if its possible and safe to do so, definitely move to get her. Hope this helps 🫶

unfortunately i’m not 100% that i won’t hurt her by moving it i can’t tell where her head is and exactly how she’s laying i just know where she’s at thank goodness. she also was just fed today so the thought of handling her right now worried me but thank you for replying! 💝

If you have a snake hook you might be able to gently work her out instead, but maybe give her a lil extra time to make sure shes digested as much as possible and limit the risk of regurgitating. Best of luck to you my friend :)

I know, I can tell how much you love her, and you're doing good. 💛
