You guys already know that my Big Corn Snake was out and im moving in a week. I got all that good advice from everyone, thank you! I was making a whole bunch of those duct tape trap things. I made probably 15 or so. All around the up - stairs of my house. Then i'm in my sisters closet, I knell down and start tearing away at the duct tape. Thinking to myself, "Where could this dumb snake be!". He was literally 10 inches from my face. Just curled up in a walmart sac. Haha. He is pretty skinny, but in overall good health! I gave him water and such. But I had this rat I was using for scent. I named him Skunky. I made a bad choice of getting all attached to it and NAMING IT! Bad move. I don't think I have ever felt so bad about thumping a rat until now. I mean, I feel horrible. But, whats done is done. It was him or the snake.
Overall, I just want to thank everyone for telling me what do you and how to handle the situation.
I'm just glad I wont have to leave this house 1 snake short!

Glad you found it! I hope you do realize that if that snake is very thin you don't want to give it very big meals right away as it's hard on their digestive track and you can actually kill a snake that way if it's to weak to properly digest the food.. SMALL meals at first to get the animal back on track, this is very important . ANY animal that is malnourished shouldn't be fed much until the digestive track is back on track again.
