ERR...some of you might know who Emma(my albino juvie female) is...well...about a week ago she escaped ..i still havn't found her...i've tried everything...heat pad with a humid hide on top...food dish next to it..flour on the floor around it so i could see if she went to it..and nothing...im really wrried now because my room is a MESS and she could be anywhere...i've been looking non stop for the past 3 days and have found nothing...if theres any suggestions anyone can give me i would REALLY appreciate it...

i would just pull an all nighter man
i would stay up for 24 hours maybe even more. clean yr room just make sher u cleat heavy things first so if she is underneath it wont smash her.... and i would open up her old cage put food in there... and even try to find where she is pooping at.. that is all u can do.. MAKE SHER U KEEP ALL YR DOORS CLOSED ! as much as u can and lock up yr dog if u have 1 oh and yr cat
hope this helps

I’ve been there a few times myself bro, and I know it sucks. The most recent escaper I didn’t even realize she was missing until I found her in my shoe. It will give you a good reason to clean your room, fewer places for your leo to hide. Try turning the lights on late at night and looking all around, she’ll probably show up when you least expect it. Don’t give up hope; she’s probably just a good hider. Best of luck!

I had a hatchling escape last year, and I found her about 2 weeks later in amazing condition, considering what she’d been through. Just be extra careful when moving stuff around, you might be surprised what leos can wriggle themselves into.

12’ that’s huge! I’ve never really been into the large snake, after I saw the size of their poo. I’ve got a little corn snake named Coco, I'm glad he has never tried to 'run' away.

Keep us posted,

heres a suggestion that worked for me when one of my leos got out. I know it seems kinda obvious and probably stupid, but it wasnt to me at first, lol. Dont tear everything apart looking for her. like if you are looking for her in a closet, at first, dont move stuff around. instead, leave all the lights out, and just use a flashlight to look under things, without moving them. same with anything else, just dont move them right away if you can just shine a flashlight underneath, keeping the light out. That way she wont get scared and crawl off again and you miss her, to somewhere that you may already have looked, nearby. she will be more prone to just stay put.

I tore my whole apartment apart looking for my leo, for two days straight. I pulled everything out of the closets a bunch of times and was convinced that she crawled out of the apartment under the door (its a teeny one bedroom, not many places to go at all.) Couldnt find her at all. Then one night, right before bed i decided to try one last look. all i did was open a closet and shine the flashlight around where i could get it and left all the lights out. sure enough, I saw a tail! So now she is safe and sound. Good luck finding your leo
