MY snake escaped help!?

Question

I found a baby eastern milk snake i had it for about 3 weeks. i came home the other day and it was gone there are vents on the floor and im afraid that he went down one. What should i do? i dont want to lose it.

Answer 1

get a frozen mouse ( thaw it out cut it for some blood to come out and set a trap on the floor with noise so you can here when he comes and put a hiding by where the mice is so when he gett done eating he will go to sleep in the hiding ..then tonight turn off all the lights and he will come out at night

hope this helps

Answer 2

Don't worry about it to much. The chance that your snake might have gotten out is a kind of slim...depending on how big is he. There is a chance but I don't think he would...he might explore first. You should try checking out some high places and low places too before anything. Then...

1: You should first try the heat trick. Put a heater at nighttime and some flour or baking powdered around it. Remember that you have to lower your house temp. so then the snake will only have one warm place to go to. This will tell you if the snake is in the house or not. Sometime it won't work right away so give it a few days.

2: you can trick the feeder trick. It's when you put the food(f/t or live) where you think it snake might have went and maybe it would climb back in the spot and you could trap it. So you might want to put it in a box and have some sort of moving lid.

3: Another one you could do is wait until about 12 to 2 am and go around your house with a flash light. Remember to turn of ALL your lights by 10pm. Snakes are nocturnal so they are usually out at night.  Just keep do that for a few days and then wait again.

4: After a while I would just let it "chill" for a bit. Just stop looking because sometime(for some WEIRD reason) the snake shows up out of no where!

You never know..your snake might be looking at you laughing because you can't find him...lol.

I stop looking for my 2 ball pythons after a week. I've tried all that tricks and it didn't work =[ but lucky after 3 weeks, I found them! It wasn't the best way to find them though.

My first male was found at 11 at night just going across my floor(that nearly gave me a heart attack!) And my second female was found in the washing machine right before I was about to wash my clothes.

So I guess you could try all of that and see..maybe you would have a much better luck then I did.

Well hope this could help you and good luck to you too!!! =]
