Help...urgent Advice Needed

My big snow male got out (first time for everything huh) and I'm in a panic. I've searched the livingroom with a torch and I'm doing the rest of the place now. Could be as much as 24 hours....crap-crap-crap
 
this has happened to me 3 times but to my luck the snakes crawled right to me. you MUST use clips on ur cages. to find the snake though, plant some mice around the house in places that you can see but aren't too scary for the snake. it is most likely still in the same room. good luck. let me know how you do.
 
I don't have much experience with escapes, but we found ours in the closet under a bunch of clothes when she got loose. Good luck finding him...hopefully he will turn up really soon!
 
Now I'm really upset...I figured he might go inrto the storeage cupboard and for the first time ever I see the hole in the corner that leads into nowhere (empty space between appartments). I know you're all thinking...'why is she typing and not looking' but I'm so stressed I can't think straight
 
Found Him

God I feel like a twit!!!

I decided to search the living room again because last lap I was in such a blind panic I really wasn't doing as good a job as I could have. He was jammed in behind a bookcase with a whole lot of cables and being a snow, I glanced straight past him!!! Thanks for your advice everyone...now I'm embarassed!
 
*whew* so glad you found him!

Don't worry about being embasrassed, I'm sure everyone who's lost a snake before understands the panic that ensues. I'm just happy you found him. I love happy endings! :)
 
Clips

The terrarium is a big wooden one with a sliding glass front and He squished himself out through the most tiny gap ever (he's a husky boy!) over to the right hand side. Oreo, I would use clips if I had the kind of viv that took them but in this case it must have been my fault leaving a ½ centimeter gap for him to squeeze his nose through....I'm going to wake up with grey hair tomorrow!
 
GREAT!!!


I was in the middle of searching for the pages with tips on how to find them so I could provide you links...and you already found him...
That is excellent...I have lost two snakes and didn't find either one for weeks...very stressful...but they both came back.
 
Now that the crisis has passed, it's time for harassment....

Were you on a witch hunt or do you live in a cave?? I've always assumed that Sweden had more modern dwellings... :rolleyes:
 
Hahahaha


Those NON-US people have the quaintest names for things...LOL

(please read this with absolute sarcasm...hate to get anyone riled up)
 
Ha-freaking-ha-ha Cav!!! I put on all the lights and got down with my cheek glued to the floor looking under everything and anything. I figured being a snow if I flash him in the eyes with a Mag-lite they'll flash back at me. He's meant to be doing stud duties with my amel girlie in a couple of weeks...I would have been even more upset if he were permanently lost!

I was also thinking about my snakeaphobic upstairs neighbor a little!! We were friendly and chatty and neighbourly until I told her I have snakes...she hasn't spoken to me in 18 months!!! -Imagine if I had to put up a 'missing pet' poster!!!
 
:cheers:
Much better...some of us just aren't cultured enough to understand all those colloquialisms...

Besides...even understanding what you said...the first mental picture I got was you taking a torch out of the wall rack to search your apartment.

Keep using $10 words like that Derek and we might come looking for you with a torch......in the middle of the night........with a rope.

We don't take kindly to edumacation 'round here. :mad:
 
Heck, I got that one off the back of a bag of pork rinds...

Don't rightly know what the heck it does mean...just thought it would help me look learned round all these here SCHOOLED folk.
 
ROFLMAO, I thought those torches were only for hunting ogres! Congrats on finding your boy Princes. :O)
 
I just got home from work and thought he was out again...but there was no way for him to get out....then I say him wrapped around the base of Boston fern so I couldn't see him...nasty little bugger is giving me gray hairs!
