Question

What is the best way to catch a baby corn snake which got out over night ???

Answer 1

put your heating lamp or heating pad somewhere and leav it on all night and in the morning you should find the corn snake curled up on the floor in the hot spot

Answer 2

at night, put his cage on its side with a pinky in it and wait...after he eats he should stay in there...

GOOD LUCK!

Answer 3

I'd lay a trail of corn....... then give up and get a mongoose.

If your not sure where it is then leave its tank open with food inside, they're sneaky buggers though so it might of escaped for good :(

Answer 4

uhhh ohhh that is not good most people that loose snakes never find them.  you could try leaving a pinkie in the cage on the floor overnight NOT SIDEWAYS.  she could easily eat it and leave again.  but leave the cage upright, and put a pinkie in it.  she will climb the side of it and go in the cage she will eat and then hopfully stay in the cage, and it will also be harder for her to get out if the cage it upright. my friend lost her baby ball python and did that and it worked!  since then he has lost it two more times and it has come back for the pinkie and my method has worked all three times.  TRY IT if not then just keep looking and hope yer dog or cat doesn't find her first.

im sorry good luck

Answer 5

The best places to look are under the fridge and stove (the like the heat) also in the clothes hamper under piles of clothes.  Don’t forget they can climb…look on table legs in room corners in closets…depending on how small the snake is look in shoes.  If you have hardwood or vinyl floors you could put a row of flour down at doorways and such, if the snake crosses the flour it will trail…you will at least be able to tell which way the snake went.  A friend of ours found his ball python in a bag of substrate that he had bought…there was a hole that the snake went in through.  It will show up eventually.  We had one ball python that used to get out and go up under a table (there was a “shelf” under the table where the snake liked to go.  Another ball python got out and went into the couch cushions…another time he got out and just went exploring.  Another ball python got out and went behind a large blanket chest.  Another ball python got out and she was gone for about 3 weeks then one night we heard a crash and went to investigate and she was on top of the table going toward her “house”.  ONe of our blood pythons got out and went under his cage.  Our kingsnake got out and we found her in a dresser drawer.  The point is we have had lots of escapes and none of them were permanently lost…snakes are crazy.

Answer 6

i agree with the first answer by lildevil, i have a snake that got out and we searched the entire house, finally the house was destroyed and couldnt find the snake so we thought it got outside well finally a couple of weeks later he was hungry and came out of hiding bc he wanted to be fed. so just be patient.

Answer 7

look in tight dark places and underneath every thing on the floor. start in the corners of the room. check inside things she could get into as well. he will not go back to the cage if you leave it on the floor. he might get cold and stay where he is until u find him.
