Well i hatched out 4 babies and i looked this morning and i now only have 3...One excaped... The thing that sucks even worse is i had a whole in my floor that leads under the house. Well i looked under my house to find little snake tracks. I immedietly set up tape traps and tore apart my room looking for her. Well under the house is completely dirt and a ton of storage stuff. Arg just my luck haha

set up a 2 liter coke bottle trap with pinky inside, place it under the house in the evening with string tied to it and check in the morning, better yet a lizard scented pinkie or lizard might do the trick. I'd try anything once, twice if it worked!

Cleat it to the Samson Post its the strongest cleat on the boat,in case he Runs.just kidding lol . but im sorry to hear the loss ,the baby is gonna find secure hide down there and the trap will be your only possibility i think. still best of luck to you

.

Maybe drill a small hole in the bottle, run the string through and knot it on the inside? Gotta use your imagination! Not something I have tried(with the string) but I have captured them inside this way and accidently on glue traps.

I had and escaped red milk snake loose for about a week in the garage. It escaped out of my rack, which was right in front of the garage side door with a 1" gap under it. It had been raining a lot so I thought it still might be in the garage somewhere. I looked high and low for it, but no luck. I had a few baited hides with f/t mice, but no luck. I was unthawing about 20 mice in warm water one evening and thought I'd give it one more shot, I took a piece of drift wood and dip one end in the water I was soaking the mice in, and then stuck it in a small bag. The next morning I pick up the bag and dump the wood out, and here comes the milk sliding out right behind the wood. ALLRIGHT!!!!!!MADE MY DAY!!!!!
