gutted cleaning out my little snow only 4months old and she done a runner.i put her back in her viv and she got out through the little hole i made for the matstat probe only about 5-7mm.i didn't even notice that she wasn't in there until saturday night as it was feeding time and i was going to take her out to put in feeding enclosure.
no sign at all and what makes things worse is it's very cold here.
my house is on three floors+attic space so she could be anywhere.
have set water out near radiators and left pinkies inside coke bottles but nothing.she has just shed and not eaten in two weeks also.
i hope she is still upstairs with the heating on as downstairs its very very cold with no heat at all..there is so many places to hide i just hope she slides out from where she's hiding
fingers crossed :sobstory:
 
Sorry to hear about your little escapee! :(
Don't lose hope they turn up after a time, and sometimes in the strangest places! Do not think that any place is too weird! Bathroom cabinet, dresser drawer, window sill...... check the warm places especially

Best of luck, keep us posted!
 
sorry to hear that you lost your snake. You might want to look at filling in any gap in that hole with a little aquarium silicon.

If there isn't much heating, keep your eyes open in the areas where you have heat...ie. around your snake enclousers. Your little one might just be hanging out really close to the viv and you just didn't notice it.

Good luck finding him...and keep us updated.
 
Definitely keep up hope...I lost two hatchlings this year (I found the first one the DAY the second came up missing)...and I got both of them back...one took 2 weeks the other 3...but they were none the worse for wear.
Just keep checking on a regular basis...and, like Whitelips said, don't think any place is too strange...

One I found in the usual...next to a wall coiled up under a toy motorcycle...the other I found IN the bathroom sink...I was lucky she didn't decide to make a trip down the drain...but it's a pedestal sink and I cannot begin to imagine how she got into it in the first place.
 
Heard a story about someone finding his little cornsnake back in a radio! If he didn't have to repair the radio (a small transistor-radio) he wouldn't have found him back. The snake was in good condition!

looking good

good news the neighbour has found my snake in her bath..taken her to the local vets today but i was at work.phoned them up and they have transfered her to a local snake person
will give full details tomorrow. hope she is well not been fed by me in 37days
 
Glad to hear you found your little snakie!! It should be okay being that the temps are rather cold, 37 days shouldn't have too much ill effect. I'm sure it will be ready to eat once you warm it up though! Keep us posted, and Congrats!! :cheers:
 
wow got her home she has lost so much weight!!i have put her in a small container with a 2 hides and water she looks so sad.watched her all day not moved..hoping she would have a drink but not interested
will try the smallest pinkie i can find in a couple of days
thanks for your support
 
When i bought my albino Creamsicle corn then man i purchaced it form (Tim Curran) said if the snake is occupied with aspen shavings and a hide space it should have no want to eacape, but as it should happen he told me when you take him home that you have to leave him be and adapt to his new enviroment for the next 5 days, knowing me i went 2 days and needed to see her, so i opened the tank and it wasnt there. (at this time my mom was already mad becaseu i couldnt wait the required five days) and then much to my suprise he was not in the tank!!!!!! so i started im my room then to my moms and brothers room then the bath room and when you search a room for a snake i mean you search the room for the snake, they can be anyware. i was just aobut to lose hope when i found her underthe sofa. now that is a pretty hard thing to go through the first day you buy a snake.so the next day i bought a new lid for my tank and some clamps. it was a terrable mistake to make no clamps on the lid, even though he was only like 2 months old if they find a whole where their heads can fit well that is where the rest fo the body goed ahahah :nyah: + :angry01: + :madeuce:
:roflmao: :roflmao:
 
Mangrove, are you sure you've got an albino creamsicle? It just looks like a normal amel to me....

im pretty sure it dosnt have the outlines on tis color in black and its eyes are pink, it totaly lacks the pigment black. so yes it is albino
 
Albino = amel mangrove. Thats what he meant. Most creamsicles are albinos. Unless your snake has emoryi hybrid blood in it, then its just an amel (albino) corn. I can't tell from the pic what it is for sure, but amels and creamsicles look very similar. The only way to know is to check the heritage. No rat blood = no creamsicle.
