snake oops

[babyb]

we today i got my snake out of the cage and i guess i left the lid unseccured and he got out in my basment, me and my boyfriend have looked everywhere and we cant find him anywhere
what would be something a snake would go to, i have looked in around my lizard tank, around my fish tanks, in and around my frig, in all the rooms, in the chairs
i cant find him anywhere
what should i do, i have a house full of cats and i dont want them to hurt him but we have been looking all night and cant find him
what should i do

 

[katiev]

Is it possible to keep all the cats in a separate room until you find the snake? Look very literally EVERYWHERE -- even where you wouldn't think the snake could get into. Sorry I can't offer you more advice.

hahaha well when i say a house full of cats its like 20 cats, we have had two cats dumped recently both pregnant and a few of our own so there are way more cats than people

Look anywhere that might be warm. They will realy go into any snug place though. My ex-boyfriend lost a snake in his appartment and found it curled around the bottom of the toilet. It was trying to keep warm in the coldest spot of the appartment. Can you set a trap for him? Does he eat mice?

 

[babyb]

yes he does but he only eats them live and i dont have any hes only about 2 or 3 ft long and the basment is very large, i just hope i can find him befor the cats do

Snakes have a habbit of disappearing. My first snake was lost for 6 mos, then one day showed up.
How big is it and what kind is it?? And what does it eat?

My brother in law's snake was lost for quite awhile once (I want to say a few months), and one day it just came out from under the fridge.

its a corn snake almost 3 feet long, lastnight at about three i came down the stairs to go to bed and i found a snake in the middle of the floor, i stood over it for about 10 min looking at it, it was a baby copper head, how it got in the house i dont know, i hope there arent more

chances r since copperheads r oviparious (live bearing) that mom said "oh, warm dark place, perfect to give birth" so u may have more, be careful and look where u step in the dark. also, becuz copperheads have been known to eat any colubrid they can i would keep even a closer eyes on the copperheads

OMG :scared:

 

[babyb]

five days and still no snake

 

[cvetnich]

That sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I found a baby cooper head in my garage and then I found another one right outside my garage door! So usually if there is a baby cooper head then they are more real close by!

My snake got out once and I bought a mouse put it in the snakes cage and it came back in 2 days. I saw her near her cage put her in and she ate. I've since given that snake away. Albino corn snake named pandora.

[babyb]

[sharkboy13]

well just have a snake hook and bag ready for any unwanteds, bag em, take em outside of ur property (any annoying neighbors? u kno what i mean) and let em go, as for ur corn, he should be fine
