Well I have a beautiful Cali. king that is about 3 1/2 years old that is missing. I have been gone for 3 days and come home to find that my weight that was holding her lid had been knocked off (probably by my cat) and that she is gone. I searched my room and have seen no sign of her yet, but I live in a big house and she could be anywhere.
Do you think that she would go up or downstairs? I guess I will try things I have read round here, and any other advice new or old would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Well my 4' king has been gone since mon-wed(not sure when she escaped) and I hadn't heard her or seen her since, I tried all the methods: flour along the floor, bags along the walls, mouse in an open cage to lure her in to feed, but nothing worked. Well I was in my bathroom tonight and saw her head poking out from a hole in the wall behind the toilet and lured her out with a mouse and pulled her free. So moral of the story: don't give up hope, and stay local when searching-she was only about 5 feet from her cage in a DARK, WARM place. Good luck everyone else!
