| I bet he'll show up when you least expect it. I can only imagine how awful it feels. I am sure you'll find him. Good luck tonight! |

| no sign at all of bilbo last night starting to lose all hope now and thinking he mite of got out into the garden if he did then its miles to cold out there for him. and the problem i have is that i am a school caretaker and live on the school grounds witch is very big and we have foxes witch will sniff him out. the breeder is holding me a snake back that looks just like bilbo will give it untill friday if there are no signs of bilbo in the flour or if the mice dont get taken then i will get the other one. then if bilbo dose turn up i will have to get a new viv and keep them both. thanks guys for all your help i would of gone mad if it wasnt for you all. tihs i must say is the best forum out there by a long way.... i will still keep the updates coming... |

I'm so sorry to hear about Bilbo, I'm sure he will turn up soon enough when u r least expecting it and in the strangest place. I have only had my snake since Sat and Sat night about 3am I got up to get a drink and checked on Jessie..............cudn't see her anywhere :o( emptied the viv from the hide, water dish and plant all there was left was substrate and I still couldn't see her until the substrate began to move. My heart left my chest and was in my mouth, I honestly thought she had escaped :o(
Fingers crossed for ya mate x |

| Mine escaped last night (hatchling)through one of the cable inlets in the top of an exo terra terrarium after I fitted a temp sensor and forgot to close up the other holes after with slider. Named "rocky" since the first thing he did was attempt to climb background when put in terrarium. Its installed on a space in a tall 7ft built in bookcase/cupboard system. Once I realised he had gone after last seeing him 2-3hrs earlier and knowing if I did not find him the "cat" would. I pulled of a load of books to see if he was behind them, having approx 200 books this could take a while! then I thought he always wants to go up, so stopping that I went straight to the top of the bookcase and "Bingo" wrapped arround an ornament on the top shelf there he was. I knew I had to find him ASAP as our cat is a killer/hunter and by the morning I would have found him dead as another present from the cat! So my advice is check up on high ! Hope you find him soon. |

So glad your escape experience was not too bad pop-rivet, we all learn by our mistakes and hopefully you have learnt that Rocky will take any chance he can to escape so you need to be more careful!
I wish Bilbo was as easy to find....but there is always a chance, so have faith (which is a truly meaningful expression ashs!). I hope the same thing will happen to you as happened to Con, who lost RiffRaff, bought Magenta as a replacement and then RiffRaff turned up! xxx |

| i realy have looked every where even in the silly places i have taken the boiler apart the fridge most of the kitchenhas been apart the fire in the living room book shelf dvd shelf the kids toys taken the tv off the wall the lot and i have looked every where 2 or 3 times. i put flour down in the door ways every night with no sing of any movment. i have put traps down every night as well its driving me mad i have been up for 5 nights in a row watching out for him as well as going to work. i rearly dont think he is in the house any more. witch is bad news cause there are alot of cats and foxes around here witch i would think will sniff him out. i have looked in the garden most nights just in case i see him on the move. the breeder is keeping me a snake untill friday if there he dont show by then i will be getting a new baby. and if bilbo dose turn up i will have 2 snakes witch was the plan anyway..... |

| I really dont think he would have gone outside, he would have stayed where it was warm. You need to keep looking, because Bilbo will probably move around a bit so may now be somewhere you have looked already. Please dont give up on him, stay strong. xxx |

You can also use a plastic paper binder slid onto edge of inside piece of glass to block gap. It also is a softer edge if your snake keeps rubbig itself up and down gap trying to escape. xxx |
