i feel so awful, we have looked everywhere, done all we can, put food down ,that went off, but there is no sign of my snake, he is a baby sinaloan, and i am not holding much hope i shall ever find him, we live near a wooden fencing with forest like area,its right next to our house, if my snake got out,he could be ate by a wild bird, or burned by the kids that set fires there, if he was in house my beardie might have ate him, or he could be trapped in the many cracks in our house, but there has been no sign of him, its like he disapeared off face of the earth, i have pretended i still have him to people, because i cant face the fact i may have lost my baby, forever,we have a lot of reptiles, snakes , lizards, and ive only had day geckos escape, but caught them again!.
Is it possible he may have gone upstairs?, as we never really checked there, also theres a big crack in bath side he could go through!.
It could be about a month and i still wont find him, my cat does not act like he is there, and there is no sign he is anywere, have i to accept now my snake is prob gone forever?, or should I believe he is hiding somewhere and will one day show up????I WISH!

I know how you feel, just lost my nile monitor yesturday. I put him outside in a large container of water, stood around for awhile to see if he can get out but he couldn't. I went inside a bit and came out and he was gone. You know, you should not give up just yet. Check a bit. Than just let him be, leave some bait or something. If destiny has it and someone up there has eyes for you, than you'll get it back. Just don't trip over the lost too much or one day you'll dwindle down to a lifeless nobody. Don't live on one thing alone. He's not gone until you let him leave your heart.
