:'( snake on the loose!!!!! :'(

[Light of Dae]

My King snake some how got out of her tank Last night. I'm at a lost here! I've tore the whole house apart, and nothing! I'm so worried about her I feel sick... My house has so many spots she could get outside.... What can I used to lure her out of hiding?

I'm sorry to hear that, unfortunately I don't think there is much you can do, usually when a snake escapes they look for dark warm places. I hope you find her soon.

I also found this link posted by Mark Cope
Lost a snake? Wanna know how to make a trap? - Reptile Forums

However I don't know if anyone has successfully used this method.

I kicked out the kittne n dog already so I could listen, also unpluged the noisey fridge. ... I've got some expanding foam... I'm goigng to seal this house up. Carboard taped along doors n vents...

I had an idea to lure her out... It isn't nice.. would involve pissing off my garters enought o make them musk on a paper towel.then make a snake trap..
My Garters would forgive me... I'd spoil them with worms after.... hope not to resoort to that..

Don't seal anything she could be in

*enter Huge... HUGE sigh of relief her*

I had been looking for her since 7:30am tore her cage n everything thing apart! my house looks like a tornado came through here! When I posted this thread is the first time I had sat down n stopped looking. Then just before I found her I unplugged EVERYTHING that hummed/buzzed like my lizard uv light, my microwave, lol (I even took of my comfy pants cuz they made noise!) Then I heard .... something like scales on card board.... Look across the room to an empty box... not there. stop again. look at her tank... Luckily I had put everything back inside.... I see a tail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll post pictures in a min... I have a box in her tank as a hide.. it's one that you get a dome light in... I had looked through n taken out all the substrate from it n everything! ... She had squished herself in the tight side folds of the box!

*shakes finger at snake* Bad girl! gave me a freaking heart attack!!(she is giving me a rather evil look like hahaha happy mothers day mom! Got ya! Shes currently sitting in my sleeve.


Whew!

So.... she was home and hiding all the time?

Hands up everyone that has torn the house apart looking for a snake that was right under their nose all the time.

This is the spot she crammed herself into...

*Note; This lid has the metal bars plus metal mesh screen. I didn't think she could get out of that! But then I couldn't find her ... and that 'Flukers' box I opened, looked around every side of it.. tossed it down thinking Damnit she's not there either! lol

When I was holding her after finding her I got the idea she was hungry.. She opened her mouth n slowly went for a finger. lol It was so funny! It was the slowest ever! Lol She din't get me as I moved my finger away. When she didn't latch on to me she just held her mouth open for a second n looked around. lol She is so chilled out.
Here is the sneaky little prankster enjoying two hot pinkies Got a video of her eating too... I'll have to make an account on youtube.
