I just lost my snake this morning. :( I am not sure where it is, I searched everywhere inside my room but I fear he left my room and is somewhere in my house. I am not sure how I am gonna find him, or if I should buy a small mouse and leave it in the main room and see if it comes.

Any advice /an/?

I've had snakes and lizards vanish.

Funny thing is there is no way they could have gotten out of the aquarium, so the rotting corpses must be somewhere under the mulch.

The snake will be in your linen closet. You will find him when you go to get towels to block off the bathroom door so he doesn't escape through the toilet.

In my experience anyway...

(But the getting towels to block off doors thing is a good idea anyway.)

After you find him and put him back in his tank, measure the gap under your door and then go find some rubber stuff at home depot to mount under your door to lower it. Then keep your door closed.

OP here,

I am thinking of pouring flour on the floor in every entrance of each room in the house at night and see in the morning if I see some movements.

Did it hurt for you because they vanished? I mean, snakes are expensive...

Check places that are warm - in the coil behind the fridge, etc.
Also check places that aren't disturbed often like in closets and stuff.
Corn snakes are pretty small, so he can fit through amazingly small spaces.. Good luck..

The first time I was very young, and my mother admitted it was her fault the snake escaped. I cried my eyes out like a little fag.

The second time I wasn't as bothered because I'd had the snake for a while and the novelty of it had worn off. Same with the lizards. That's why I haven't owned a reptile since, lol.

Look under your oven. When my snake gets out, that's the first place she goes.

I had this happen to mine...we tore my room up looking for him...a few months later he crawled out of the heating vents in the floor...unfortunatly he had contracted a respitory infection, and even the ablities of a friend of my mom's who raised snakes for a living couldn't save him ;-; Sorry to be pessimistic but your chances of finding the little guy/girl again are kind of slim.

God, you all fail.

In all my years keeping herps, I've never, ever had anything escape on me. In all the shops/reptile parks/whatever I've worked at, the only thing to ever get out on me was a Quince Monitor. Who proceeded to come looking to me for food upon tearing his way out of his tank...

Protip--Get on your belly and crawl around the room. He prolly' hasn't gone very far. Bed, bookshelves, etc. are all likely hiding spots.

How on earth can you lose a snake? Aren't you supposed to keep a rock or something on top of the container?

I'm not sure how the rock python got out (I wasn't there). She was getting a soak in the tub and must have climbed over the glass doors. Usually its only the 10-15 footers that do that, and that's after a few hours. The rock was left alone for only 20 minutes.
She was found wrapped around the drier vent, heh.
