Well, I feel sick. Barely into my snake-keeping hobby, my snake has escaped. You can see how small he is here: http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=113375
I had him in a 10gal aquarium. I bought a wire mesh lid at Petsmart, along with clips. I couldn't get the clips under the rim of the lid, so I bought another type of clip at Petco. Those didn't work either, so I bought some fancy locking ones online (made by Zilla). Those never had a chance to arrive.
I'm really kicking myself b/c I had to unplug the heater while waiting for a thermostat to arrive in the mail (the one recommended in the link above). It, too, didn't have a chance to arrive. My guess is that the little guy/gal wanted to find a warmer spot to hide.
Anyway, the biggest issue now is that he/she could be anywhere, my place is a disaster, and it's difficult for me to go through everything b/c I have a bad shoulder. I will have to pay careful attention to my dog - maybe he will lead me to the snake.
Sincerely,
