Help!!! Snake loose in House??????????????

hotsnakes Aug 03, 2003 11:03 PM

I came home tonight, and one of my baby bull snakes was out of his cage. Any tips or tricks to locate him?

Try sprinkling flour on the floor, especially along the edges, near corners, and in areas that are relatively out of the way. If he's still around, you'll see "snakeprints" and maybe can track him.

Try looking near warm places in the house (IE radiator if you have one). You could try putting out a heat mat, bowl of water, and hidebox in the same close vicinity and checking periodically. Some people have used glue traps with no ill effects...just have to be more careful about checking them and make sure to get them off well and in a timely fashion. Andy
