I have a bit of a situation, my king managed to crawl his way into my computer printer and for the last day and a half has made a nice little home for himself within. I'm wondering is there anything i can do to coax him out ( i just fed him on thursday) or if my best option is just wait until hunger or thirst drives him out on his own. thank for any help you could give me.

What you need to do is carefully take the printer apart before he becomes stuck in there and cannot get out. He may already be hurt. Hope you the best. Post the results

I would put the printer in a large escape proof box. Then, depending on the size of the snake, place a narrow water bowl so he will sit in it and soak. Check check the box every few hours. He will eventually get thirsty and come out for a drink. He will stay in the bowl if it is narrow enough so he does not feel exposed.

yea he's in no harm, moving around i just can't get at him without totally destroying my printer which i'm willing to do if i have to, but i would like to avoid it if i could, he just keeps getting away from me everytime i get a finger on him.
