I asked my son to get his snake out tonight so we could feed him. After 5 minutes of searching in the substrate, he said "it's not in here"! I searched and to my horror, it wasn't! I asked him when he had last seen it and he said he had got it out a couple of days ago. The panic was slowly creeping in an d we started to look for it.

Not in his room (that we could see), so we moved on to my room! Under my bed is a sea of shoes (about 30% mine and the rest the wife's!!) We proceeded to remove and check every single shoe. Not there

Our daughters room is a bit of a mess and it was 10pm, so all we could do was check what we could get to without disturbing them! Still no snake

I'm a bit worried, but will keep on looking. I've checked around the radiators, but may have to move the radiator covers to look behind them.

What can I do?!!

Oh no! I lost my hatchie a few months back so I know that sick feeling you get when you realise that they're not in their tank. Fortunately mine obviously decided that freedom was not all it was cracked up to be and, after half an hour of me frantically searching and turning my room upside down, he appeared at my feet and stayed perfectly still as I picked him up.

Hope you find your little one soon.
