| What's a bottle trap? I didn't have any talc, so I put flour everywhere on the floor. I put his tank on the floor and left the door open, do you think he'll find his way back in? |

| did you check the substrate? I thought I'd lost mine but the little blighter was buried in the aspen shavings. I took everything out of the viv and spent a few mins going through the substrate and still couldnt find her but then suddenly she popped up looking very angry at me :) She is only 7 weeks old though so hides very easily |

Hii mate! I know it is terrible when they escape, but don't panic! And don't beat yourself up about it! I lost Echo then found him a week later hiding under a traffic cone in the garden! I'm sure you will find him! Close all doors and sont leave windows open, they will get out!
Good Luck |

| oh i hope u find him!!!!!! |
the amazing colour of the cornsnake, as it glides through the feild, never a mistake
so as not to wake
the hapless prey before it, this may as well roll over and close it's eyes as the silent hunter shall always get his prize.
the forked tounge can smell you mouse,red eyes can see you stir, if she does not wake and run now, that will be the end of her. |

I just found Sneaky.  The little bugger was hiding in a folder. That was definitely one of the worst experience of my life, but it felt so good to find him. I was so worried. 
Thanks for all the replies and tips, I really appreciate your support. |

The folder was about 7 feet away from the tank, on a shelve. I wouldn't have seen Sneaky if I hadn't opened it. |

Corns are amazingly adept at climbing, so I wouldn't be surprised at all to find a missing one up high somewhere. Alice has actually climbed up the edge of a door before!!  I still can't figure out how she managed that! |
