Absolutely devastated went to a pet shop to get my two corn snakes sexed. On the way back I stupidly left them in the car while I went round get something to eat gone 20 minutes or so and my 2 and a half year old butter had escaped. Managed to open his container and get out. Gutted the car completely and he was no where to be seen :-( gutted. I'm guessing he managed to get out of the car some how searched for about 40 mins in the nearby bushes but he could have been anywhere. Was planing to breed him this year too.

We too everything our of the front and the boot. We've left a mouse in the back I hope to coax him out but no luck. I've been reading stories online and people have found them months after so not giving up hope entirely. Can't believe I was so daft tho.

I hope he turns up soon. There are just so many places to hide inside a car, chances are he is still inside and has found somewhere nice and dark to hide.

Dashboard has been unscrewed and the vent above the bonnet. Losing hope to be honest. :-( trying a hot water bottle to see if that can coax him out. Pretty cold night tonight :-(

Aww what a shame :{
My bet is also that he is still in the car.
Have you tried removing the seats?
Best of luck finding him!

Nice...

I've always found that they will go to the nearest dark cramped space when they escape... I found one of my milks in a gym bag about half a foot away from her viv once :)
