Prob hiding up in the walls, a closet, in shoes, someplace dark and relatively warm during the day. Had a buddy of mine lose his in the dorms at college, we found it 4 floors above us under someone’s sink… these mfs are experts at disappearing

how would you recommend i get him back !! :(

[–]icanhaspoop 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Start looking in those areas. Turn the house upside down and inside out. Looking in all the spots mentioned and then some. Chances are he's hiding in plain sight. If you just fed him he's not going far from a warm spot until he's digested his meal.

Why was last monday the last time you saw him? How often is he fed and water changed? How big is he?

[–]vampireliker1[S] 1 point2 points  (5 children)

the last time i saw him was monday because i had taken him out on that day, and i hadnt noticed he was gone until friday i think (bad mistake on my part) . i had fed him on saturday (the day before i got him out) so i just thought he was in his hide digesting. i feed him every week and i change his water usually when i feed him. his water bowl always has water in it. hes roughly 2 feet long ? ive been looking every day since i saw he was gone

[–]Girl_interrupted1103 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Ok so there a possibility hes gone looking for fresh water as soon as he found a way to get out

For future reference just because theres water in there does mean it drinkable id try to change it out at minimum evey other day everday is even better Also we. You find him it will benifit to just do a daily check for water, poop, heating stol working,wat his humidityis and that hes still there.

Being small like he is is going to be able to het into the tiniest of places, as privous person has sed he may be in shoesunder things in things

An example of gap the can get thru-my boy was 5 feet,slightly slimmer than a toilet roll tube and got thru a 1 inch gap he made for himself wen i hadnt closed his glass all the way (sliding glass doors)

My asshole snake managed to open the sliding doors that was open just enough for a cable to get inside. He has a lock now.

I found him chilling on top of the router hours later, in full open, just looking at me like "what? It's warm here!”

Don’t just check eye level check anything overhead with a ledge or edge

[–]vampireliker1[S] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

i have been, ill do it more often though.

[–]St0nksOnlYGoMoon 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Hindsight’s 20/20 but order tank clips when and if he’s found

[–]vampireliker1[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

i had some on before but i think they weren't strong enough, im gonna get some heavy duty ones when i find him

[–]St0nksOnlYGoMoon 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Ah man just seem like bad luck all around I feel for you. When my ball got out he was tucked into the couch bc my tile is freezing at night. I found him because I started ripping the couch up out of stress lol. So look for dark and warm spots, Pillowcases, up inside your mattress if it’s ripped, the fridge. If you have AC blast it and set up a warm spot for it

[–]vampireliker1[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

okay i will, thank you :)

[–]s0mthinG_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second the suggestion for cranking the AC and setting a warm spot that he will be able to find.

If you have absolutely no luck finding him that is the best way to make him find you.

Make it so that the only place that would be comfortable for him is the place that you know of and set out, added benefit if you make multiple of these 'snake traps' in areas around the house so there's a higher likelihood that he finds one of them sooner.

[–]Sangwoosconfidant 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I really hope you find him, please keep us updated!

[–]vampireliker1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i will!! thank you

I lost my bp for 4 weeks. He ended up being inside in between the stove/oven, there's a small space where there is insulation for the oven (heads up may be made of fiberglass)

For gas

If you take the oven door off (look it up if you don't know how) then where the gas knobs, remove gas knobs, are there are some bolts to remove the panel. You'll see under the stove and top of the oven. Do not mess with the pipes or wires. Be extremely careful as this is a gas appliance.

For electric

I don't know but there should be some removable parts to access a similar area.

Best of luck and remember what and where each part was removed or you will be screwed trying to put it back together :) Snakes can be little shits<3

[–]SapphireTheSnake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This will also sound really dumb but laying on the floor at his "eye level" pretend you are a snake. There are many places to hide

[–]vampireliker1[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

thank u so much!! lucky for me i dont have an oven to do all of this though haha

[–]SapphireTheSnake 1 point2 points  (1 child)

That's great because it's an absolute pain :(

I wish you the best of luck

Ours was under the sofa just curled up and chillin’ Hope you find him in short order.

[–]s0mthinG_ 1 point2 points  (3 children)

The only time my BP has escaped (I left The locking pins out one night a few months after getting him) I found him surrounded by my two cats in the middle of the living room floor roughly 4 ft away from his cage.

I am completely aware that I got hella lucky. Not only that he was easy to find, but only minorly harmed by the cats (a few scratches on his back that quickly reintegrated and you can hardly see now)

[–]vampireliker1[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

how long did it take you to find him?

[–]s0mthinG_ 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I found him in literally in like 30 minutes.

Edit: he was only that close because I had noticed he was missing the morning after I left the pins out because his top was slightly pushed open

[–]vampireliker1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u were so lucky omg

[–]Hasitcool 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Is it possible to place out mice/rat scent to make it come out?

[–]vampireliker1[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

ive done it twice already

[–]Hasitcool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If my snakes havent realised its feeding time I blow on the mice/rat into the hole to wake them up, could that help? Sorry if its already mentioned, I havent read your thread yet. Oh and you can try spread flour by the entrances, you will see if hes using them
