Python on loose!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
His only 15". Thanks for the ideas hopefully he'll turn up soon. It's going on the third day with no signs. I just wish he was 3-4' already I could find him and get rid of this cat JK.
 
I would look close to heat sources, and in dark areas, like up inside a sofa, or easy chair. also look behind your refrigerator, the compressor in there is always very warm. I would also try a live rat, even if you have never fed him live. The duct tape is an awesome idea i would make a couple of large traps sorta like a glue trap for mice. Good luck!
 
i had a phyton loose im my room for 2 months.

i think the good time for you to look for the snake is at night time.
 
anywhere with you think it possible to hide, whats the diameter of the body? usually i cant find my snakes , if its gone its gone , manage to catch back moniter lizards thou...
 
Have you tried moving bookshelves? I've had ours try to hide in the small crawl space under bookshelves and/or get behind books in the shelves. Also if there's a bed in the room, they like to crawl into the box spring... good luck. I like the big snakes, they're hard to miss, they tend to knock things over when they move.

man too bad i dont know your house lay out if any animal gets out in my house i find it instently. once my sisters rat got out and it was out for 2 days because i was gone i came home later. i didnt want to find the damn thing but my mom was crying about it so first place i look it was there
 
I've read that escaped ball pythons usually don't wander very far. After three weeks, we found my brother's bp curled up in a dresser drawer about eight feet from the cage.
 
I would be terrified. I don't like surprises.
 
I just lost my little 10" BP, then found him two days later sitting on a UV light. If you have something warm around set low down, they usually come to it. I once had a Russian sand boa that escaped crawl over me while I was in bed.
 
sand boa slither over you? damn you are lucky, did you caught it back or continue sleeping?
