lost bullsnake

somehow, my male whitesided managed to push open his bin and escape last night. I tore apart the entire room-no sign of him other than a bunch of stuff he knocked off the top of the rack.

I moved all the furniture, etc. Nothing. Put flour down in spots. Not sure what else to do at this point.

Had to be my best bull, too. Of course.

Don't feel bad... My wife opened one of my cages to feed an eastern king 0f mine while I was at work, she forgot to shut the cage afterwords... Several hours later when I returned I noticed the open cage minus one four foot female eastern king... I have not been able to locate her either... My wife was very sorry and apologized over and over... Yes I forgave her but she has been relieved of any feeding duties...

Such goes life,

I learned a valuable lesson yesterday. Never listen to people who tell you Bullsnakes don't climb!

After overturning everything in the room, I heard a weird noise in the opposite corner of the room. I have 3 six foot bookcases in that particular corner, and when I shook one of them, he jumped off the top of the bookcase!

So don't just look low, look up high too, for anyone who loses a snake!
