Pls tell me how to recapture a lost kingsnake...

Help! My kingsnake is still missing. It's only a few months old. It's hard to find the snake because there are lots of hiding places (inside a box, holes on the walls, pipes, etc) I tried to search the entire room but still to no avail. Could someone please give me some advice on how to recapture it? Please? Thanks!

Get something like the lab mice cages they have at the pet stores...hopefully it's warm enough that your snake will still have an appetite.

Put it in a corner near the spot the snake escaped, and fill it with used mouse bedding from your pet store, and a bunch of live pinkies or fuzzies.

Hopefully...the strong smell will entice the snake, and once he gets in and hopefully gorges himself, he will be too fat to get out through the bars.

This time of year the trouble could be he may have found a nice place to brumate !!
