Hello everyone. My friend recommended this site for snake advice, so here's my problem:
My brother recently got a corn snake, Alex, a little over a month ago.
A blurry picture, but you get the idea of his size.
He's got him in a 20 gallon aquarium with a screen lid that snaps on over the sides. I didn't think the gaps were big enough for him to climb out, but he has got up and sat along the edge of the lid of the aquarium so I guess it's possible. At any rate, he noticed a day or two ago that, by all appearances, Alex is no longer in his aquarium. He's not hiding under his dish, under his 2 spots, or beneath the chips. When we had first got him he actually gotten inside one of his two logs, but I made the holes he would have climbed into a little bigger and couldn't see him; it's possible that he could still be in there but I doubt it, and don't think my brother would take kindly to me ripping them up. =] That means that somehow, he got out. I'm not quite sure how, but my brother left a mouse in the cage and he never came to get it. Also... ugh.. my brother left a mouse on his bedroom floor and that didn't lure him out either. My friend mentioned that when they get out they usually hang out within 15 feet of their cage, so I thought that the mouse would work, but I guess not! The point of this is for me to ask, does anyone have any other suggestions as to how to get a young corn snake to stop playing hide and seek? Thanks!
