Last sunday one of my snakes got out because I didn't close the lid well enough, but no harm, found him in under an hour. A few days later the same snake got out again, was magic that got him out this time. Anyways its been several days and I've laid tape traps, put food and water and hides out and no success.

The tricky part is I keep my snakes in my garage, and its gotten cold fast. The snakes that are still in their cages are kept warm by a monitored space heater but the rest of the garage is generally in the 50's. I've looking all the normal places for him out there but nothing, there are a lot of boxes and im hoping he's in one of them. There is one small opening to get out under the garage door but I don't know why he'd want to go out, its colder oldside the garage than in it.

One (well 2) problem though. I also keep my dogs in the garage at night. While supervised they've never hurt a snake but I wouldn't trust them alone.


TO THE POINT! any super awesome ideas for getting him out of hiding so I can nab the sucker!?
 
i maybe a newb but when my friends snake got out we removed other pets, ie-dogs in your case, and we put a adult mouse in the middle of the floor with cuts so he was bleeding and we put either flour or baby powder all over the floor, in the morning the mouse was gone and there was a nice track leading to were he was.
 
If it's very cold in your garage, I'd try placing out a human heating pad, and putting a hide on it, or on half of it.

Perhaps create this:

and maybe even put an f/t in it.

Cover the hide so it's nice and dark. Hopefully your snake will be attracted to the warmth, the pinkie smell, and the safe dark hide. Once snakes get into hides like these, it's very hard for them to find their way out.
 
Found him tonight. Moved the dogs out for a couple nights, increased the temperature in the garage and than moved things around today. Came back a few hours later and he was in the corner, he had hit one of my tape traps but managed to free himself but it was a great indicator to me that he was out and about.
