As I went to get my 2 ball pythons out of their cage today, I realized there's only 1 in the cage. Simple math would tell you that I've now got a problem. Either my male adult ball python ate the female (I've never heard of this), or somehow my 1 year old female escaped from a completely sealed enclosure. Now I've never heard of ball pythons eating each other, so does anyone have any advice on ways to lure a ball python out of hiding? Any advice on this would be appreciated as I've now got a 2'python loose in the house with 2 dogs and a cat (the dogs and cat are safe, it's the python I worry about).

Snake On The Loose, Need Help

It happens to the best of us - they don't normally travel very far - lots of people find them curled up right under or next to the cage sometimes they seek heat and go under the fridge sometimes they hide in furniture. Best time to hunt for them is when you normally see them out cruising their cage - if she's normally active at 3 am get up then grab a flashlight and start lookin. I've found that they find somewhere secure and hold up there for a couple of weeks then come out when they are hungry. Just make sure that you keep your house locked up tight so she can't get out or get in trouble (close up doggy doors, toilet lids and bath tub faucets and check your garbage disposal before yourun it!) until you find her. Dogs and cats usually don't bother snakes or at least you'll hear a comotion beforehand. You'll most likely be watching TV one night and she'll go sliding across your foot and freak you out. You can try to lure her out with mice/rats but that has never worked for me and I'm not sure that will work with dogs and cats in the house.
