after all the trouble ive had with raven this week, i get back from shoping tonight to check on her and quess what - shes gone. i know she was there before i went out at 8. lid was on fully but i`ve just noticed the long sides on the Exo faun she was in are a bit on the flimsy side, and she has been around the top edge recently.

current measures in place are:

a shirt over heat mat
flour round the room
and various hides along the sides
just need to find a decent bottle to put a pinkie in

i`m keeping a close eye on the cats as well, dont want them to find her first. i just want to scream right now as i was thinking of giveing her the full viv space that the faun was in.

Solid, I am so sorry to hear that Raven has gone. Its bad enough the stress you have had with her not eating but for her now to disappear. Sounds like you are doing all the right things. Have you put out some drinking water for her? Could also try putting foil or wrapping paper round skirtings, so when she moves around the edges of the room you will hear the noise. Just dont loose faith, Daisy disappeared for 28 days and then turned up - Tizzy must have considered the fact that she might never see her again but she did. Same with Bilbo. Keep us up to date. xxx

thanks all. theres a hole in the wall that goes to the next room, which i think theres a good chance she could`ve gone thru, near this hole on the other side is radiator pipes that go downstairs. i`ve got a bottle trap set up near the pipes in hope she comes back up.
its just a waiting game now

Another tip I read is to put matchsticks at right angles to the wall around the edges. That way you can see if anything has been moving around the room by the skirting board.

Hi Solid, sorry to hear about raven, you mentioned about the faun, that isn't the larger flat one by any chance? I just bought one in prep for my corn. How big was raven when she escaped? This has got me worried now, lol.

A couple fo questions about your current measures.
What's with the shirt over the heat mat?
and
The flour around the room?

Best of luck matey.

yes it is the large flat one about 18x10 inch or so but its over a year old and the lids been on and off a fair few times, i dont know how rigid new ones are tho. if your that worried you can probably tape the outside. the shirt thing is so its got something dark and warm to go in, and the flour is so you can see if the snake has been in a particular room as they are more likely to move along the skirting boards instead of straight across the middle of the room.
raven is the black one in my sig she`s not much bigger than in the pic.......................\/

I can't believe all the little tips and tricks I have learned from this forum, you don't get none of this in books.

Well I really hope she turns up soon and in good health.

Don't lose hope mate, when Lucien went missing I didn't think I would see him again because my house is quite old with lots of nooks and crannies. But we all had a shock when he turned up again in my grandad's towel.

Well he was in the shower at the time... I seem to remember some things being shouted downstairs to me but I couldn't possibly try to get them past the swear filter

Lemme try'n'help:

Did Grampa instruct snakey to go forth and reproduce elsewhere?
