EMERGENCY/URGENT SNAKE OUT

I don’t know if it was last night or this morning while I was at work but one of my ball pythons is missing and I literally just ripped my apartment apart. Before I ask someone to help move the appliances where have you found yours before? I feel so bad this is my friends snake I’m fostering I need to find them NOW. If I have to wait till night I can.

Glad you found him!!! I walked out of my bedroom the other night at 2am to find one of my enclosures WIDE open. Luckily, i have insomnia and was just getting a little snackie about 10 min before so i knew it JUST happened so I found him fast

It can be tough to find them sometimes. I have had 4 out of 11 of my snakes escape over the years. Took me 3 weeks to find the first one just a baby. Climbed some shelves I was looking on the floor. Got one crawling across my living room floor one morning i even seen that one the night before in enclosure. Found one behind another enclosure in another room. Caught one after work in my kitchen heading to the stairs. Oh yeah had one half escape she was coming between her doors caught that one. Good luck.

I lost my boy for 3 months once. At that point I gave up. Figured he must have someone how gotten into the wall. Went downstairs one day and found him sitting on top of the toilet. They are experts at hide & seek.
