I have a problem with irresponsible people keeping pets they don't have the know-how nor the maturity to care for. THAT is my problem, and you've demonstrated your lack of knowledge several times in the past.
I don't care if you were on the way to the office supply store or not, common sense dictates that if you knew it was an unreliable container and were going to fix it with clips...you'd put a couple of bricks on the lid until you got back. Also, if I knew I had a hole in the back of my closet big enough for a snake, I'd have had it covered long ago to keep unwanted vermin out and my snakes in if they were to ever escape.
I lost an adult male corn a month ago, didn't see me posting on here asking for help finding it. I found it 6 days later crawling on the bed thats in the snake room. Besides that, I only know of one person in my area who could have physically come to help look for it. There's only so much help people online can give you other than the obvious.
A quick search on the forum quickly points all the tricks for finding a lost snake and where to look. Guess that search button is scary to click, eh?
Either you must have the worst luck imaginable, or you're an attention-getter. I agree with Joe, considering the reception you've received in the past...why on Earth would you post something like this only to get more flack?
Btw, if you're sooo busy looking, how can you reply to this thread every few minutes? If the snake is in shed, it can't see as well and probably isn't in the moving mood. I'd look some place close and low for it to hold up till it sheds and is more active.
Added in a few mins later: I think you need a serious wakeup call and slap into reality. I'm not being mean just to be mean, anyone can tell you I am not usually like this. But I get sick of carelessness on your part and sitting back and watching and waiting to see which one will be next.
Just because a corn snake is $30 doesn't make it "easily replaceable". Just because a baby red-tail is $90 doesn't make it a "minor setback". They're all real animals and should be cared for the the BEST of your ability. If you can't do that, then you have no business buying them in the first place. With your track record, I wouldn't trust you to keep feeder mice alive.
Having a passion for reptiles is one thing, but to get them and be careless with them is inexcusable to say the least. When you can get to the point of being responsible and feeling more mature about the care and upkeep of your pets, then maybe you should try reptiles one more time. But until then, get a pet rock..
