escaped Rubber boa-Help!

grinning Nov 02, 2004 09:11 AM

My adult female rubber escaped yesterday or last night. The cage seemed tight, but I guess I underestimated her. The cage was on top of a book shelf. She isn't hiding among the books, as I would have thought. She also isn't under the book shelf, or any other object in the living room. Does anyone have experience with escaped rubbers? Do they tend to go to the best hide spot and stay there, or do the roam around the house? I am not looking forward to trying to find such a small, secretive snake in my cluttered apartment. I have put flour down in the doorway to each room already. If anyone has any other ideas on how to draw her out of hiding please let me know...

Thanks,
Jacob

I heard they were no fun, ahhahahahaha !

Seriously , hope you find your snake. A nice snug dark area is usually were they go.

I'm sure it is hiding somewhere very snug and comfortable. I have only had these a couple of weeks, but they have already become two of my favorite snakes.
