Re: Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Didn't you just get that Beauty? Just wondering. But I would check in your couches and right next to the tank. My red tail escaped for about 5 minutes and was behind her tank. Also you can put floor in every entry way and exit to every room.

Re: Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She's probably still quite close to the cage. As Foerster said, check everywhere.
Check every little nook and cranny within fifteen feet of the tank, drawers, under and in any furniture, amongst the bookshelves, and any appliances like vacuum cleaners or something that could be around. She's probably wrapped herself up in a nice, tight little spot. Check up high as well, TB's like to climb, don't they?

Re: Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck finding a wiry little thing like that... and vforester meant to say "flour" on the floors, so you can track where it has been.

Re: Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I've had snakes get loose I make a loop around the walls in the house checking everything in my path, usually starting going into the kitchen, they like under stoves and behind refridgerators. I haven't lost any snakes in the last few years as I moved on to better caging.

Re: Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
think like a snake.
follow along walls, and look under things, pull apart couches, move appliances.
also, look up, freesi like to climb a bit too.
