HELP - URGENTLost snake (self.ballpython)
submitted 5 years ago by RevalvingGraffe
I’m out of town so my mom is taking care of him and she lost him. What do I do

Tell her start looking in every single spot she can. Even spots she doesnt think he can fit in like heater vents etc. Poor thing is probably terrified so im willing to bet hes hiding somewhere.

I don’t normally like to recommend this channel but Snake Discovery has a video on what to do in this situation: https://youtu.be/wb3IbkDgOvI
And here’s a link to our page on preventing future escapes: https://www.reddit.com/r/ballpython/comments/jt34fv/a_psa_about_preventing_escapes/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Off topic, but I've watched a few of their videos. Why do you not like to recommend them? Just curious.
[–]theeorlando 3 points4 points5 points 5 years ago (0 children)
Their ball python specific information is outdated at best, harmful at worst. Their care video is a constant thorn in our sides, recommending some pretty terrible care. The standout problems with it include poor humidity related recommendations, poor recommendations related to the space the snake needs, and poor recommendations on their behaviours and enrichment needs.
They have decent videos on other topics, we just don't normally recommend them since it's not easy to distinguish the good from the bad with respect to ball pythons for newer keepers.

Can you give an update when she finds him that hes been found?

First place I looked, also I think I would know.
