well he managed to get 9" upwars to the tinyest hole up the back were i hadnt sealed the lid down properly there litterly 1cm gap, thats the only place vaable he could of got out of.... im devestated,

more to the point how do i find/catch him? will he turn up one day or is that the last ill se off him,

problem i have is i got 1 kitten, 1 cat and a dog. theres no traces of blood guts what have you, sounds gresome but you ge the idea...

now whats the most likley place for a snake to go? will it stay there and die or will it just apper one day?? ive had the front room upside down and infact decided to move it about as i kept meaning to do, so i know he defently not in the front room... how far will it go??

my corn escaped about 3 weeks ago , same size as yours by the sounds of it . I LOOKED EVERYWHERE. so i thought?? Then last monday she came out from under the couch which is about 1 metre from her viv . Look round near his viv again and again most likely to be close to home . Hope you find him and dont give up!!!

Look behind fridges/freezer etc.
The motor and compressor in the back of them gets nice and warm
They could climb stairs fairly easily, but he'll more than likely be somewhere warm.

I currently have a King snake hiding around my house somewhere, so you're not the only one.

Cut the top off a 2litre plastic bottle turn in inside its self and tape it shut, put a warm pinkie in an leave the bottle some where warm. If you set a few up around warm places when he gets hungry/cold he will search out a warm place and find the food in the bottle an if he eats it then he will be too fat to fit back threw the hole :)

hope you catch your little runaway. Good luck!

ok cool, dont quite know were to stick it but i suppose i can just put the pinkies in certain places and check every day,
how long will a pinkie last if not eaten?? i mean how long till its gone bad and a heath risk to the snake??

The pinky has to be inside a bottle or snake will eat it then go and hide again.

Putting flour down across the doorways will leave marks in the flour if snake has gone into/out of a room.

Check your clothes before you put them in the washer. We nearly lost our missing corn that way They love clothes, especially hiding in pockets
