My juvenile 8 month old corn escaped in a huge carpeted room with floor-set warm air vents, one of which was just two feet from her tank. It's cold out so we have the heating on, and she's small enough to have slipped through the grating covering the vent.
I've searched wherever I could and set 'caves' against walls, and left out water dishes, but the vents will be warmer and more dark and enclosed than anywhere else. She's a couple of days late for her feeding now. I tried leaving some pinkies out, but I'm only in this house for about half of each week and I've had to discard them - when I'm at work I don't come back here at all, and the other residents won't swap out dead animals.
Even though I've done a whole lot of google searching and there's a lot of advice, I haven't been able to find advice about small snakes getting into vents. Can they get back out? Do they get back out? I've stuck a hand towel halfway down the closest vent for traction hopefully.
