As soon as it was discovered missing if it was caught soon enough, it is a good idea to tightly pack the gap under the door with clothing or a towel, etc..., so you can at LEAST contain it in the same room it escaped from.

If you have hard floors, you can sprinkle flour all along the perimeter of the baseboard so the snake's tracks are visible when it is crawling, then you can often follow them to exactly where it is hiding, or at least the general direction and area.

As the other poster mentioned, if the cats give ANY attention whatsoever to a certain area, THAT is probably where the snake is!. Cat's are like snake "radar"..LOL!

Many people I know have had their cat's find their snakes, but that is only providing the cat's don't eat them shortly after finding them. Cat's love to play with, then kill small snakes.


good luck finding it before the cat's do!!!
