I finally got a snake a couple days ago. yesterday i didnt fully secure the cover of her tank and she escaped. I spent many hours looking for her and i turned the house upside down. My parents like to keep the house very cold so it my not be active and not move. we were hoping if it was dark she would come out but it didnt. what are some good places i could look? Is there something i could do to lure her out?

Inside furniture, anywhere warm or moist.

If you've got a lot of free time you could try putting a caged mouse in the middle of your living room and just hang out. The snake may well seek out the mouse.

Don't be surprised to find him six months from now bigger and fatter.

thanks. ill try that. its just a baby probably just a couple months old.
 
even in a cold house ( mine is ) there are warm spots.

Look around/under the DVD, the TV and that sort of appliance, computer, etc-

Any chance it might have escaped to the kitchen? I'm thinking behind of fridges and washing machines....
 
keep looking.

in the division you guess she might be, put a heating pad on the floor with some sort of hiding place and a thawed mouse.

Lets see what happens
 
My uncle's bull snake got loose quite a few times. We found it periodically around heating pipes, both inside and outside of the walls of the house. If you have radiators or heating pipes, check around those. If you have forced air systems, check the area outside of those. But sometimes we wouldn't see Bully for months and then we'd be tearing down a wall or moving appliances and we'd find him again.

At work, our Ball Pythons get out regularly (or did, until the manager bought us locking cages, hah)... we would find them a day or two later around the small animal cages looking to get at the hamsters/gerbils/etc. Maybe getting a mouse and leaving it in a tank out someplace might lure it out.
 
Yeah, check behind the fridge or anywhere warm. If a snake gets loose at work the first place we check is behind the freezer. They're almost always there. When my roommate's snake got loose we just moved the water dragon cabinet and he was curled up behind the spot where the heat lamp is hung.
