he's missing.
Came back from holiday and he's not in this faun. Last seen Sat morning, i got back on Sun evening. Absolutely gutted.
Have searched everywhere in my room, the door was closed so hoping he is in there somewhere. Have left a mouse out and his faun open on the ground with heatmat etc. Have moved as much as i could off the ground and left some hidey places out for him.
He must have got out where the wires go in to the faun, even though it was taped up (no sticky sides showing, it was what i was told to do to secure it, but will be aqua sealing it tonight in the hope that if he comes back it can't happen again)
So upset  |

It's good to hear you got your snake back katy. gives me some hope!
I'm just going to keep leaving mice during the day in the hope that one goes missing, at least then i'll know he's still around. also going to put plenty water bowls out and some flour around them so i can see any trails that are hopefully left.
I've also left the heating on in my room and covered the pipes so he can't burn himself, and put loads of hides near it, with the mouse next to his favourite hide. going to give my room a massive massive clear out tonight and search everywhere i can think of, then start on other rooms just incase.
my first snakey and he's escaped already ugh! picking up my adult on Wed night, his viv is going to be ridicuously escape proof after this!
thanks Lozzy. |

Many escapee`s turn up near their viv, keep positive and hopefully he will soon be back with you.
One of mine escaped when only a few weeks old, after turning the room upside down we found him under his terranium hanging onto the lip around the bottom next to the heat mat. |

| Yeah am doing all i can, room will be getting turned upside down tonight. Dying to get home from work! Just glad he was there, he usually lives in the livingroom but was getting a new fireplace so was moved temporarily, think it would have been worse trying to find him in the livingroom. Oh i won't, and if on the off chance he doesn't anytime soon, i'll still be searching and putting mice down for years to come haha! |

That's a pretty good idea.
My corn escaped only once when I accidentally left the viv unlocked. I found her underneath the viv, curled up beneath the warm end.
The temptation is to assume he's gone far but that may not be the case.
Good luck finding Freddie. |

Do you have carpet, or tiles or something else? If you have carpet, try making some lines of matches perpendicular to the wall (and touching the wall). If he slithers past the wall, you'll notice that the matches are no longer in a line. On tiles or parquet and such, you might want to try making a line of flour instead. You'll see his slither patterns in that very well :) That way you'll be able to see which parts of the room he's visited, and narrow down your search area a bit.
