Lost corn snake.

ericagal178 May 26, 2004 10:13 PM

Well, she escaped sometime yesterday. Shes a snow corn and is about maybe... a year or so old? What i'm worried about is where i'd be able to find her. Last time she escaped she was just hiding behind the dresser but now shes not there. I thought the new cage would've held her better but apparently not.

I found a trail in the carpet leading to my air duct but the thing is i know for a fact she would NOT be able to fit in that thing. she cant lift it either because theres a... oh... 40 lb or so plant on top of it (which she is not in, i might add).

another worry of mine is that since she is in my bedroom i've been warned by my mother that she might escape and strangle me in the night. i know i'm paranoid but shes pretty aggressive for a corn, and whats worse is that i'm afraid she might do it to my kitty teana who sleeps in my room with me as well.

my room is the warmest in the house. I have a tv, a computer, a stereo and a gaming consol which are usually on all day. Could she have possibly crawled into the toilet too?

I'm so paranoid! ::cries:: she eats thawed out frozen mice so i dont know if putting a live mouse in a cage would work.

another possibility is that her sister ate her. they live in the same cage. they were a couple days late on their feeding and as i recall, last time her sister, erm, didn't eat the normal 2 she eats and only had 1. she seemed halfhearted about it too. i didn't think much of it but i don't know! ahhh!! im panicing!

i'm pretty sure shes still in here. i know they're nocturnal and at night my door is closed. there would be evidence if something fat like her got under there in the carpet.

um....... HELP!

Put plastic bags behind you bed and anything else in your room and you will probably hear her crawling on them late at night. Also put the cat out of the room or the cat will kill the snake.
