Magic because he is able to dissapear without a trace!!
I woke up this morning and found that my Okeetee (17in) was not in his viv. Panicing, I gave my apartment a quick search, I was even a half hour late for work. I did a more detailed search... Still no sign of him. I live in a studio-type apartment, so he's free to roam anywhere...I know that the door to the outside is very sealed, so he's got to be in here somewhere. I found only one escape route, and that was a hole in the kitchen wall near the floor that leads to my downstairs neighbors ceiling, but I doubt he got that far or even went there because the kitchen is the coldest part of the apartment and also the farthest from the viv. If he went down there, there's no way for him to get back up because it's a little bit of a drop...I plugged the hole simply because if he's down there, he's not coming back, and if he isn't, then he can't GET down there...The other place I am worried about is the shower drain, it wouldn't be hard for him to get into the shower, and I don't think he could fit through the holes. I think his head may be too big, his body for sure too big, but I've read that they can fit anywhere they can squeeze their head through. I shined a flashlight down the drain, I saw the water down where it loops around but no sign of a snake...
I have read through the forums a little and I plan on doing the flour thing and also laying toothpics out along all the walls... My walk in closet and my bathroom are on either side of the viv, so if corns crawl along walls, then he's got to be in one or the other. There is plenty of space between the floor and the bottom of the door that he could get in/out of those rooms. I want to lay traps for him, but I don't have any pinkies at the moment, won't have the means to get any of those until tomorrow. I don't know how useful a trap would be without bait, but i will try anyways, maybe just using some of his substrate or something for a familiar smell...
i read somewhere about laying aluminum foil down, does that really work, would that make enough noise to hear?
Any suggestions would be appreciated...
