Lost my baby...

Hollychan Nov 03, 2007 05:39 PM

My sweet little kingsnake somehow got out of her cage. I discovered her missing last night, searched the room her cage is in, but no luck. I left two mice out in the room, hoping to lure her out, but no luck there either. I need any suggestions you guys have on how to catch her/lure her out/whatever. She hasn't eaten since Monday, so I'm hoping she'll come in search of food soon.

Please give me any suggestions you know. I'm in a panic.

I know the worry one goes through when a baby is awol! I had lost my Royal Albino python over three months ago! At only 2 years old, my Prince Vincent was no where in sight in my little appartment. To make it worse, the old building has gaps where one can spy into a spooky dirt floored cluttered basement! I felt for sure he was gone- frozen in the cold new england temperature. I had even gotton a new female Royal Albino to help me feel better. I had been thinking just in case- if Vincent were to return, he'd have a mate to meet too! Today to my blessed herp heart the prince appeared just before me, exiting a side closet! Vincent had grown too!!! He must of fed on any rodents coming in from the cold! I hope this account will help you feel better. I hope you'll find your lil'snakey soon- Good luck!!!

I have had snakes before climb shelves that you wouldn't beleave and ended up finding them on top of rodent cages licking there lips. Leaving the rodents out is a good idea just don't let them loose. I am also told you can leave flour in door openings to try to help track a snakes movements at night while you sleep but I have never had any luck with this.
