Hi, my two eastern milksnakes pushed through a peice of wood there was tight in a hole and they got out I have no idea that they are that strong it was tight I mean tight in. They got out and I found one in my other room and the other was still gone what should I do to find it?? any tricks??.

Don't panic! Make sure any cats or dogs can't get at them. It could be anywhere dark and warm. We lost mine for 3 weeks, and it just showed up. Look high or low. Make sure there are no ways outside. Look where you found the other one. It may be close. Bookshelves, under refrig., cabinets, closets, around its enclosure, They can hide anywhere. There are some tricks to catching them, but I'd give finding it a shot first. Derek

Ok Thanks

Ok I pretty much emptyed both rooms and no snake whatsoever check cabinets and everything else. ??

I have heard of people taking a 2 litre bottle, cutting the top 1/3 off, turning it around and taping it together with a F/T mouse inside. You can try that. Put it along a wall, preferably in a dark least traveled area. Oh Yeah. Wash and dry it first. Good luck. It will turn up eventually. Derek

Ok just set up two of them one in each room.

OK still no sign of the snake whatsoever.

To give you some hope.. I lost an anery het albino male about 4 months ago (he shot out of his bin onto the floor and behind all my racks) and I was working in the snake room a few days ago and noticed some movement on the floor. To my surprise, there he was! I had figured he died for sure without foor or water... he barely lost any weight either!
