My spotted python (my smallest,and only snake that can get out somehow)
seriously worried and biting finger nails to the quick..
[img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif[/img]
my baby spotted python got loose the other night .. luckily the door to the room was shut
but there is this little crack in the wall she went into last time that i think shes in now
i cant get it open or anything very very tiny i am afraid i wont lure her out befor we move!
we could be moving soon anywhere from 1-2 months.. i know a long time BUT
once my friends snake got loose and he didnt find it for 3 months and
i dont want that to happen in this situation..
what should i do to lure here out? i have a heat pad on low with a pillow case around it near the crack in the wall.. and some water (not near the heat pad.dont worry)
and tomorrow i am going to get a pinky or fuzzy mouse and put it in a soda bottle trick
or something.. anything else i should so i REALY dont want to leave her behind or leave her to fend for herself or getting killed by the people moving in or anything i would feel VERY horrible leaving her behind so i have to find her!!
please give me tips !! i am very upset
thanks everyone

Sorry to hear that it sounds like you have everything covered. You could put the flour or sugar on the floor like some people have suggested in other posts you never know she could just be cruisin around the room. Good luck.

Aww that sux ! Hopefully you will find her. Usually though it's when you are not looking that they are found. You do seem to be doing what you can though. Don't count on her being found in that room either...we just found a baby snake 2 rooms over from where we lost it where it escaped from last nite..after like a lil over a week.

lori.. the door was shut to the room and there isnt any crack under the door
so it would be near impossible for her to get out of the room
there isnt any vents or anything

this is a sick way to do it but it worked 4 me take some mice and split there heads open with a razor blade and lay some paper towel around the walls and drip some of the blood and stuuf on the towels and near that crack then try the bottle trick ya its a sick way to do it but its worth a shoot hope this can help

Askin' cos little ones seem to wander further than the biggies.
I had a similar thought toSS26969,but w/fresh mose urine& feaces
the braining might work better though, & not stink up your room so much!

Hey buddy, I'll be coming home next month and can offer some help if you want. I can come down to Portland if you want. But that won't be unti June 22nd. You got all the tricks...you really need to talk the parents into letting you open that wall up. What's on the other side of the wall??????? Bedroom, kitchen...outside?? I wish you the best....CM [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
