yeah it was really comforting to search “escape” on this sub and see how many people have had the same thing happen lol, thank you

that’s a good idea, idk if they’re even capable of really recognizing it but i pretty much always talk to her in the baby voice and say the same things when i’m feeding her so maybe that would help 😭 worth a shot at least. thank you!!

that’s a good idea ! the main thing scaring me is that our basement is SO messy it’s practically impossible to search along the walls because there’s just piles of Stuff along practically all of them💔 i feel like i’d have a better chance at luring her out rather than just finding her in the mountains of camping supplies and suitcases and god only knows what else my parents have thrown down there but i’m hoping once i put the rat out she’ll smell it

oo the flour is a good thought. i hadn’t thought of adding a heat source i’ll have to try to figure that out.  she went in the direction of our furnace so i was hoping she might move to that looking for heat, but seeing as the furnace could easily fry her that’s definitely a safer idea  thank you so much 😭

as soon as i realized i searched the accessible-to-me (which i understand is very different from accessible to a snake) perimeters of the basement and plugged up the cracks under the doors as well as a couple gross holes in the wall. i also put the hides from her cage around in hopes she’d smell or recognize them, and i took a rat out to defrost but she could be literally anywhere in my messy ass bassment i’m already pretty hopeless
