Hope he turns up soon.If you have any dog owning friends it might be worth having the dog round for a while and see if he pays any attention to a particular place in the room.

All the threads I've read about escapees and bottle traps say try them every few days. Littleuns seem to have a habit of turning up many months later, so I would suggest you keep a spare rub around (or something that can be used as one) just in case he does put in a show.

I'm saving my dr pepper bottles up. I'll try it again towards the end of next week. I've got his Viv (now hole free) ready and waiting for his return. I'm not ready to empty it out!

Got some good news and bad news. Last night a friend of mine messaged me on facebook saying that there has been a snake sighting in the night club downstairs. I rushed downstairs to the club and spoke to the bouncer. Two hours before Fred was released outside because they thought he was wild :( I looked around where they left him and put down bottle traps but no joy :(..... On a lighter note my snake has been partying. This photo appeared on Facebook this morning.

OMG how the hell could they think he was wild - how many bright yellow snakes have they seen in their gardens???? What total idiots! So sorry, I hope you find him - hopefully the weather is as warm where you are as it has been here and he'll be OK - at least you know he is still around somewhere!!

I don't know :/ I just don't know how to catch him now. Where they let him go there is loads of long grass etc so no chance of visually finding him. Going to go and buy a load of pinkies and lay like 10 traps tonight

I'm so sorry, that's really awful! What idiot would think he was a wild snake Best of luck finding him, hopefully someone with some sense might pick him up and do the right thing this time if you don't get hold of him yourself.

Yeah. Though I do find it funny that my pervert of a snake (likes watching girls changing clothes) found his way into a night club and was partying with girls!

It might be worth putting some posters up in your area saying he's lost and offering a reward for his return. Also contact your local RSPCA to let them know he's missing in case someone hands him in. It's so sad that you came that close to getting him home.

Did not know corn snakes were indigenous to the UK!!! Cannot believe they released it, hopefully you will be successful with your traps.

Good luck, at least you know he's alive. I'll be sending snake finding thoughts on your direction.

Great clubbing pic! It must give you hope of finding him again.

And remember, we know about snakes and such. Calling people stupid because they let an 'unidentified' snake go is a bit snobbish. It's lucky they just didn't shout "SNAKE" and stomp it!
