I've never had to do it (yet!) but I think a few bottle traps and lots of flour is the way forward.
Good luck. |

I hope you find him :(
I just wondered, is it because the lid wasnt secure/put on? Now that I've got my little CS I'm worried about gaps cos there's a tiny gap in my viv. |

Good luck both of you - when spook escaped i had to rip half the house apart - then found him wedged between the skirting and some electrical trunking 6ft away fron him viv, Romeo was 7ft up in the air having a cosy warm nap on top of the DVD player after his little adventure.
They really can get anywhere so remember to look up not just down. |

Still no sign of him, when i went to the shop to get some mice i asked the chap in there for advice on what else i could do to find him. he said to put flour in door ways and bottle traps down which i have done, then he said.... if u can smell a bad smell then he is probably under the house dead  i thought thanks that makes me feel better. im not giving up hope!
i hope supersarah17 and the_nosh find yours soon  |

Sorry to hear your news. I have has 2 snakes escape, my Royal and a baby King. I have never seen the King again but the Royal I knew I would find as he is slow and bulky. He was found asleep in the bathroom curled up in the rack between the shampoo and bath foam bottles!
They can survive for ages on their own so don't despair, he may turn up. |
