So this actually helped me locate my ball python after he got loose and went on an adventure! We discovered him hiding behind some books on a shelf in the household library just outside the room his tank is in. Clearly he too wanted to get an education.
"They don't go up, they go down." Tell that to Huggy. I heard him hissing from the closet, took everything out, swept my hands across the ground......and when I look up he's staring at me from the top shelf. I swear to God, his facial expression was all like "What the hell are you doing, moron?"
2:40 Even though most people won't see this, I would just like to add that if you have an arboreal species this is invalaid. I have a carpet python and whenever she's out, you always want to look up for her because she makes it her goal to get as high as possible
My snake is kept in the livingroom which is connected to the dining room, which is also connected to the kitchen. And in the kitchen there are stairs going down. The livingroom is also connected to all the bedrooms. Help.
When I was 18 I moved into a friend's apartment and rented their spare room. I had several reptiles in tanks around my room. I was actually lying on the floor next to my bed watching tv when I felt a little nudge against my side from under the bed. I turned to look and found my California kingsnake had gotten out of his enclosure and had come over to me (presumably because I was the warmest thing around) and was slithering against me! I was surprised, and after telling him what a good snake he was for letting me know that he was ready to go back in his tank, I did just that, and double-checked the cage clasps! XD
Dude, imagine you have a friend who owns a snake but he doesn't tell you and he has lost it over the house, then you are playing on his ps4 and you hear a little hiss behind you as something slithering against your back... Haha That would be gold
We just found my California Kingsnake alive and in brumation in our basement. He's been missing since the week I was gone for the 4th of July in 2020, almost 9 months ago. I definitely thought he was gone forever; I'd searched through everything when he first went missing. I'm so happy to have him back. Escape-proof your tanks, always make sure you close everything tightly every time you go into your snake's tank, no matter how long you've had them! Don't learn the hard way and go 3/4 of a year without your snake like I did. 😂
Wow! That's amazing & inspiring! Trying to find our little guy Milenko 2y.o. ball python. We don't even have a big, messy place! Just a small 2 bedroom apartment with 1 bathroom. We've pulled the appliances out looking for him & everything. Even put our little security camera on the floor pointed at the kitchen because I swear he is still in one of the appliances😂 Reading your comment makes me keep hope. SoSOOOOO worried😢
@@Elia1988seoul I did!!! He must've been moving around because I checked my closet so many times & finally found him in there hiding in a bag full of shoes after 6 weeks!!! That was a few months ago & he is doing great now 😊
I swear, I watched this video at the perfect time. Three days after I saw it, I discovered one of my corn snakes missing. Just by following the wall, I found it after 3 minutes of searching. Thanks so much for the advice!
One of my friend’s snakes decided to escape right before he went on vacation. He was cleaning the tank, put the snake on the coatrack so it would be out of the way, and somehow forgot to put the snake back when he was done cleaning. He swore the snake must have gotten into the air vents or something. Luckily the house sitter found the little guy a few weeks later, just fine after his big adventure through the house. Moral of the story: don’t get sidetracked when you’re done cleaning snake tanks, kids! Your snake might get clever and try to pull a Houdini on you! 🎩 🐍
Very similar to my friend who failed to secure the lid of the snake tank the night before he left. Three of us watching his loft tore the place apart for several weeks. Unfortunately for us, the snake was still missing when he returned and we were blamed for it. Snake turned up couple hours later hanging from a floor lamp.
Ok...so....I lost my corn snake for 4 months! And, guess what, he was DOWNSTAIRS IN A TOILET PLUNGER. He's all good now, I'm just so happy that he hadn't starved.
I always said “I would never lose mercury” now here I am. I accidentally left her tank open while I took a nap :/ UPDATE: I found her exactly 24 hours later, tore my room apart looking for her only to find her between the bottom of stairs and wall. Like stuck between a small crack. I had to use a mouse to draw her out LOL Crazy part is I wasn’t even looking for her when I found her. I was sitting on the bottom of the stairs and saw her and thought she was a gecko until I realized.
Yeah i'm in the same situation right now, i accidentally left his vivarium's glass door slightly open because i was tired and also went to sleep, realized as soon as i woke up that he wasn't in there, i've been searching for him for a few hours now but no luck :/
@@akizaaa6323 I found my ball python curled up ontop of his enclosure where the heat lamp is underneath, it was so lucky for him to be there. Unfortunately I did the same and didn't find him until now, I suggest looking in really dark and warm places, even if you think they couldnt fit in there.
@@striderwhiston9897 I searched my room 4 times. Went in the kitchen and checked and nothing, beside the heaters and everything and still nothing. I just want my baby
I lost one of my baby corn snakes a few weeks ago and my mother found it, to my relief on the same day in the bathtub... (Sorry if i spelled something wrong, I normaly don't speek/write english, because I'm from Germany)
White Dragon unfortunately we recently found her, but sadly it was too late :( She was a baby and I guess she was just gone too long to survive on her own. I'm really sad :(
Thank you Emily for reminding me that snakes will squeeze underneath any nook and cranny. I turned my room upside down before re-watching this video and seeing the gap in between my closet door and the floor and found my snake hiding behind my boots. Honestly this video is a life saver
I remember my snake went missing and I was about to go away for the week; my family had just arrived to pick me up so I had told my parents to keep looking... I went to check my backpack to see if I had everything... and his little head popped out. XDD
Place a couple cardboard boxes on a heating pad set to "low" and check the box frequently. You can put a thawed rodent in the box to entice it with scent.
I had this issue with my baby turtle, it was in a small tank(just a small plastic bin since it was about the size of a quarter at that time) and it crawled on the rocks that it had been moving. I have a cat so I was terrified the cat ate it. Thankfully Lil Jasper was found nice and safe and got a huge new tank after that little escape. Turtles might be known as slow but they are extremely fast when babies.
@@yoda266 . the only reason I named her Lil Jasper is because I had like 20+ Minecraft turtles that I insisted needed to all be named Jasper at the same time. No idea why I was so fascinated in the name.
Thank you so much! My 4 month old MBK managed to escape her vivarium, I ended up flipping everything in my room 3 times, emptied the store cupboard outside twice, cleared the neighbouring room which had piles of equipment, holes in the skirting boards leading into the walls, the wash room next to it, the bathroom (large hole in the back of the wall behind the toilet leading to god knows where). Floors covered in flour, 100 plastic bags laid out, 10 mice in bottles with holes poked into them, heat mats and hides positioned along the walls... 40 hours of constant searching later she was in a shoebox I had checked 3 times before, which was about 1 metre away from her tank 😂 don't stop checking areas you think you've already checked, best advice I've had!!
I lost my King snake when I was very young actually, this was while she was still growing and so occasionally would "outgrow" the methods I used to keep her tank lid on by getting big and strong enough to push through them (I was like, 8-10, not exactly the best experienced LOL) She escaped only 3 times ever. Once I found her directly after she got out, slithering along the wall. The second time I found her in a laundry hamper a couple of weeks after her escape. The third and final time was truly the worst. She had been gone for months, and I truly started to accept that she was just gone for good. I had a very large house at the time (Big family) and there was no possible way for me to check every inch of it or even ensure she was still in the house anywhere. I think it was approaching 8 months when randomly, our newly moved in neighbor came to the door with a box. Surprise surprise, he had caught my snake. He told us that he had seen her slithering through his yard and went to grab her, immediately assuming she must be a pet due to her being very brightly colored albino but nearly full grown. He was going door to door asking everyone if they owned her because he figured that she couldn't have gotten far given that we had a lot of hawks and falcons in the area, and had been directed to our house because we were a little infamous on the block for being the "Animal House" (Parents were very much into herps in general) He almost didn't believe us when we told him how long she had been missing LOL I was so genuinely blown away, it was crazy seeing her again after so long. I was so young at the time, she had been gone almost an entire school year which felt like forever as a kid. And this guy just found her casually slithering through his yard. It was so lucky that this guy both saw her at the exact right moment as she was passing through, AND had the knowledge (and compassion) to recognize she was a pet snake and try to bring her home to her owners. Naturally we thanked him profusely and I think my parents even offered him some reward money. I was very grateful, I brought her back to her enclosure and the first thing she did was take a huge drink. I'd never seen a snake drink so much, she dunked her whole head in the dish and was practically just inhaling it. So remember to re-hydrate your snakes once you catch them LOL And never give up hope! I'm happy to say nearly 15 years later she is still as happy and healthy as ever, about 6-7 ft now. No clue what the life expectancy of these guys are but she doesn't seem to be slowing down any yet. I'm still just so thankful that I got her back =)
Fafnir that’s Amazing I lost my ball python 22 days ago. Can’t find her nowhere in my house but I won’t give up hope I’m hoping to god she comes out soon I’m missing her like crazy I only had her for 7 days 😓 and I have a king snake also too that I love so much very friendly
@@oooeygooey7540 I actually found my snake under my dresser in a couple hours so I didn’t have to worry about that but I was terrified of it when she was lost. Try your best to stay calm and look in tight places with warmth. I hope you find your snake!
i lost a snake like a year ago and i have two cats my sis sees and hears my snake though but she only sees the nose of the snake but we know it is ok :)
Ugh this takes forever, I am just going to do the faster way Me: *laying peacefully in my bed watching Netflix* My mom: *screams heart out* Me: omg Mr.Slithers your back!!
First snake I lost was my egg eater... And he was missing for about a month... Only to be found once again.... Safely in his enclosure.... Shortly after he got out again... And I was 100% sure I did close the enclosure.... But eventually.... By just offering food in said enclosure... I could get him back... And at some point later I woke up in the middle of the night and caught him red-tailed opening the enclosure himself... But a few peices of masking tape took care of that...
My snake escaped, 4 foot adult male ball python, surprisingly climbed up a dresser and hid behind a painting. This video helped me find him within an hour of noticing he was gone, thank you snake discovery for being truly one of the best if not the best reptile channels out there.
My 6ft corn snake got out once. Couldn’t find here for 3 days until we went to put away some towels in the linen closet next to my room and she popped her head out from a blanket
_Fire_in_the_Sky_ the twig ball python from goherpings video was off feed for half the time sunny was and twig boi is literally dying to the point that he has to be force fed.
night_creeps dude I lost a turtle and three years later I swear to god I found her/him (idk I was a child and got it as a present) right outside just chilling in my bushes. They never left I was so confused. Also turtles are so damn fast it’s ridiculous.
My checkered garter went missing once.searched the whole house many times over. He had been missing for nine months and we had given up hope of finding him, especially as we had two cats that were very prolific hunters (regularly returned with big rats from the farm nearby) I had decided to get rid of the vivarium but my then wife wanted me to start the house refurbing in the kitchen. First job was ripping offthe wooden edging as we were replacing it. I dug into it with a claw hammer and ripped thd first part off. He was hidden behind it and the hammer must have missed him by millimeters. He ws thin but not overly so so he must have been feeding on something. Unfortunately he passed away a few years ago. He was always on the small side and wouldn't take any more than a large pinky to small fuzzy mouse. I am guessing he was a runt but he was ok in all other respects and lived to be about twelve years old.
Wanted to give a big thank you to Snake Discovery and the comments here. My 2 year old, four foot long corn snake was assisted in a "prison break" by one of my fat cats creating a hole in the screened lid. I frantically tossed the entire room, making sure my other reptiles/pets were secure. After a few hours, I was losing hope, and tried to calm down with this video. It gave me time to collect my thoughts, and think "like a snake would". I found him after ripping back my carpet and running my hands along the gap where the wall and floorboards meet. I saw the glint of his scales, and knew he was wedged in a pretty inaccessible spot. I baited him out using a warmed up mouse, and when I caught a good glimpse of his body, snatched him like Steve Irwin! I was so relieved, and stuck him in a temporary enclosure while I triple checked the repairs I'd made to his normal enclosure. After checking him all over, he looks perfectly healthy, and the little stinker managed to get a mouse outta me a few days before his actual feeding 😛 My takeaway is: be calm, be vigilant, and think like a snake. I feel like this is a good call to action to "pre" snake proof my reptile room now, so there aren't any crazy cracks to hide in!
I was hyperventilating when I lost my cornsake Breeze. I just walked in and the cage was open! She wasn't inside, I checked a LOT. We found her in a spare cave under the enclosure. Still trying to remember how to breathe, this happened like, 8 minutes ago!
Emily : there are two types of people, people who lose a snake and people who lie..... Me : but I've never lost a snake ...... Then again I've never had one.....
My childhood snake went missing for about 4 months. Found her under the fridge when she broke the ice machine. She’d get out every couple weeks but we always new where she was when my mom screamed while putting away laundry.
This video is worth it's views in gold weight. My escape artist ball got out for the third time recently, and this was the first long-term time we could not find her anywhere. She didn't go to either of the previous spots she went to and every other place in the apartment was too cold for her to possibly be interested in. It was like she just vanished in to thin air one night. I kept coming back to this video and going over all the tips over and over, setting out traps, sitting up working late in the pitch dark to try and lure her out, nothing. 13 days later, at 3:30AM on the day of Repticon here in Tampa, she knocks over a wine bottle and I find her on top of the fridge... That I took apart... Twice... Your tips are absolutely invaluable, and the biggest and best one of all is DO NOT give up hope. We did after tearing the house apart, buying a 16ft USB endoscope to search every nook and crannie we could think of, and she literally just showed up in the middle of the night.
At the pet store I work at, we are mainly a fish and lizard store but have snakes. A milk snake got out during feeding, our floor and pet associate spent the next two weeks looking everywhere for it. About two weeks after that was found by a customer in a cart.
i used to work at petsmart, they used to tell this story of this rat who escaped in the store for a few months, eventually they found her in a ripped open bag of bedding where she had decided to make her home XD
Random Hobbyist When I was like 16 years old I went to a pet shop, and I spotted a baby snake slithering around outside of the terrariums. XD I told them and they put the snek back in. It was very cute. :3
I once lost a full grown 5-6 foot Bairds rat snake in my house about 3 or 4 months before we moved out. Didnt find him before we moved and thought he was gone forever. About 6 or 8 weeks later at like 8.30 am, I get a phonecall from a panicked builder who was contracted to knock down a stud wall between the living room and the kitchen before it was rented out to new tenants. 2 or 3 smacks of a sledgehammer into the plasterboard wall, and the snake sticks her head out of the holes in the wall to see what the heck was going on. As you may imagine, he asked me on the phone if I was willing to bring him over new underwear lol.
I lost my snake Kosmo about a year ago. He was missing for a couple hours. I was reading a book and I suddenly hear crinkling. I look up and the little shit is shoving his head in an empty chip bag.
Yesterday I switched my baby snake's enclosure to a bigger one not realizing he could get out. This morning I realized he was gone. When I saw he is tiny, he is not even 1/2 inch in diameter and about 9 inches long. I was devastated. By a miracle of God I found him crawling around in my closet. Your video really helped calm me down, and start searching where I needed to, thank you so much!
Emily: “It’s only a matter of time before you lose a snake.” Me 9 months ago: “hahaha this will never happen to my snake!” Me today: ashamed, tail between legs, snake has escaped “pls help”
I was gonna say "I've never lost a snake!" then I realized I was a liar lol I just got lucky! My common Colombian boa has gotten out twice: the first time she managed to push her way out of the temporary tub we had her in while building her actual enclosure. I had spend the night at my fiance's (then bf) but Satin had a first vet visit that morning. Came back and no snake. We started tearing the room apart, and while I was halfway under the bed I turned my head towards our mini fridge and there she was poking her head out like "what's all the fuss??". The second time was years later, someone didn't put her enclosure doors back on properly (we lived in an apartment with roommates, I didn't know someone was opening her enclosure without me or fiance there) and we found her that morning literally no more than 2 feet from the enclosure, just hanging out between the wall and a twin mattress we were moving. Then again, it's much easier to find a 7+ foot long snake! 😂
I recently lost a snake and have had no luck so I decided to watch this video again, it’s extremely helpful but I wanted to add a tip for rack owners! If you own multiple snakes in a rack system check your rack first, behind bins and next to them! I’ve lost a snake or two over the years and typically find them within minutes because they are somewhere in a rack lol!
Mine has escaped twice; luckily found within a few hours. The first time it took a few hours to figure out he'd escaped. and was found within 10 minutes of searching. He'd traveled along the objects at the height of his enclosure and ended up hiding in a window. He stuck his little head between the blinds to say hi! The second time was only after half an hour (idiot me took the lid off and got distracted) he went about a foot and hid in a packing box. Again, he stuck his head out to say hi when he heard all the commotion of me moving stuff. I really don't know what I'd do if he want missing longer than that D:
We lost two of our three baby garters 4 months ago, and found one of them really quickly using the plastic bags and a bit of chopped up mouse. I had really lost hope for the other one because the house is super old and has lots of holes and gaps near the floor and walls so I thought she was just gone. But hey wouldn't you know, last night I woke up to some suspicious noises and yup, this morning I found her under a radiator! Took a few more hours to actually catch her, but now she's back. After four months! And she's so tiny, no idea how she survived that long. We're super happy, thanks so much for all the awesome tips! They really helped a lot :)
My Kenyan sand boa has made it his hobby to escape. First time he got out I found him an hour later in a drawer of art supplies. My cats found him the second time while he was scooting along the walls (they thankfully aren't interested in doing more than curious paw proddings), and the third time he wedged himself under the fridge. He's now in an Alcatraz-esque security level enclosure, and my cats won't stop looking under my fridge.
I watched this video nearly 3 years ago when it came out after just getting my first ball python. Now I'm revisiting it after losing my baby hognose... She was right about losing a snake being inevitable.
@@dxrhxx.14 Yes! I found her 2 weeks later in a pile of laundry! I was so relieved! My adult ball python escaped about a month after that, but I knew right away because he knocked over some cans in his escape attempt XD
Had my hognose escape on me in our apartment while i was at work, looked everywhere and no luck, was pretty sure the cat and/or dog had got her. fast forward two months and i was tossing our laundry in the bathroom in the hamper to go to wash it that week and sure enough i tossed the little noodle in the basket too. shes lucky she wound up on top where i saw her right away or she would have ended up loose in my car or my parents house to probably never be seen again. this is the same snake that somehow survived a 2 year hunger strike, though now she is finally eating again and getting nice andchunky=) Never lose hope
@@zachvanarsdale7065 Haha I wish! My dad has hated snakes ever since we found a rattlesnake under a log nearby our house a few years ago. Hes definitely not a snake fan!
I relate heavily. Growing up my mom had a tremendous fear of snakes so I could never keep them. I was allowed to keep lizards, frogs, etc, but never snakes. But now that I'm off to college, I get to speak for myself a bit! and now have 4 and counting snakes.... point being, its a marathon not a sprint, you will one day!
Thank you so much. I lost my snake about two hours and this made me feel a lot better about it. I thought it wasn’t common and felt so bad. I started to panic. Thank you
I got a ball python for christmas, and I got her two logs, one was to big so i left it in the corner of my room and gave her the smaller one cause it was more comfy for her. Just a few months ago she escaped and we found her in the log in the corner of my room just chilling. 👍🏻
I had a corn snake who figured out how to open his aquarium and was loose in our large two story house for 4 months. Two months in we we’re on vacation and my cousin found him strolling about, put him back in his enclosure and of course the little Houdini popped the lid open again. XD Finally two months later I found him shoved in the back of a closet and had to rig his aquarium with about ten Velcro strips in different places to make sure he couldn’t pop the lid open by constricting and squeezing the screen till it slId open a bit. Definitely a smart escape artist snake my other corn snake never could figure out how the other snake opened the cage. XD But If you ever want to keep people away from your house tell them you have a snake loose and not to step on anything you see moving around on the floor, and most people will run out of their like a bat out of hell. O_O
My soon-to-be-in-laws don't like snakes. Want to know how we keep them away when they come pounding on our door? "We're just about to feed Bellatrix. Wanna watch?" Nope! Bye bye!
I lost my baby corn snake this morning and stressed over it for two hours but I heard my caretaker scream while looking through my closet. Turns out it was hiding in a box of hats. Fed the baby and nearly sobbed out of joy. Definitely making sure it won't escape again.
My ball python and my hedgehogs enclosures are in the same room and one time my ball python escaped and we found her sharing a blanket with the hedgie😂. They’re habitats overlap in the wild and they don’t bother each other so it was actually pretty cute to see them curled up right next to each other
Thank you for this, it really helped ease my mind. I have an escape artist who is currently lost in my house, and you really helped me calm down and have a starting point and a plan. Thank you 😊 Hopefully she pops up soon, and hopefully I find her before my dogs or cat do.
Lost my corn snake several weeks back. They’re native so I wasn’t super concerned. Found her a week later behind the shelving above the toilet one night durning my shower. Fun times
When I got my first snake, he escaped and I went insane looking for him. He was tiny. My mom refused to come in bc she hates snakes and funnily enough, she found him.
That's how my mom is. She said that if he ever got out (I'm getting my snake on Wednesday) and no one is around to get him, she'll let our cats get him. I'm making sure he doesn't get out. XD
we lost our first cornsnake in late fall, and found him curled up in the tent in the closet in early spring. Best we could figure is he spent the winter curled up in there lol. Hopefully this will never happen again. My anxiety is a blessing in this instance since I triple check enclosures now.
I love this so much. I recently lost my baby milk snake, Frank, he's only tiny and I'm so stressed and guilt ridden. I'm using all the techniques. I love your channel and I hope I find him soon. We suspect he's in the floor...
i had a ball python "escape" i knew where it was, i just couldn't get to it. there was a cavity between his terrarium and the one above him for cables, he managed to loosen the plug from the cable hole, and hid between the terrariums. i kept trying to feed it in the terrarium hoping to lure it back. apparantly after 2 months he got hungry and went back in his terrarium to eat. when we moved the terrariums later he had shed in there, and the shed was almost in one piece
Thought my new baby cal king must have somehow escaped (though couldn't see or figure out how). Actually broke apart (carefully) the hollow commercial branch hides that I had in his cage, and emptied and then put back all cage accessories. Waited about 30 minutes during which I was searching for this video to put my mind at ease. Looked in his cage again and there he was in his enclosure. Now I really want to know where he was hiding, because fully dismantled his habitat searching for him. So grateful to have found him so quickly and "easily". But thanks for the vid. It helped during that short time of panic.
My cat does this - she just dematerializes. I check all her usual spots (behind the washing machine & under the sofa) and she's just nowhere. I shake her cat food can: nothing. Then 30 minutes later she comes wandering in like "lunch time?"
I don't have or want snakes either, but my sister has like 20 or so and is guaranteed to walk away with at least one more whenever she goes to a reptile show.
I lost my Little milk snake. My dad found her with my cat(unharmed thankfully). We put her back in thinking maybe we left the door open. But no, she went to the back wall foam rock thing and worked her way between that and the glass to come out this tiny hole where the clasps are. Smart little thing. We took the foam insert out and stuffed the hole with some tissue and tape. She hasn’t gotten not since xX
I don’t own a snake but my room is the hottest room in my house, so that will be a great place to look if a snake got loose in my house lol Edit: I just saw this comment a few weeks after I got a corn snake. She escaped-
@@bulbasaurhimself8914 i understand that, especially if the "snake-escape" scenario happens , the Snake won't have anything to warm up in a mostly cool temperatured house, right
Another useful and amazing video, I'm sure! EDIT: Huh I never would have thought of some of these. The plastic bags and flour trails are especially clever!
Im concerned with your profile pic the balkenkreuz is a Nazi war symbol if I were I would change just so you don't get called a Nazi. No disrespect to you just finished my 7th grade WWII unit.
My corn snake has escaped one time and I read one piece of advice that really helped me find her... LOOK EVERYWHERE! And I mean everywhere, in every place in that room, even the places you think that they couldn’t possibly get into. I tore apart my entire room and looked through every nook in cranny including stripping the bed of sheets and moving the mattress, through all my drawers, behind every book in the bookshelf, etc. the one spot I didn’t look, however, was inside a plastic drawer tower I had in the closet because I though there were no holes or gaps for her to get in. But when I finally ran out of places to look, I opened the very first drawer and voilà, there she was!
This will probably get buried in the comments but maybe someone needs to hear this. I lost my tiny 6 months old garter snake in my room in an old building with an infinite amount of hiding spaces and I thought I'd never see him again - he could literally fit between a tiny space between the floor and the baseboard. But I still found him after a few days! He never moved away from the radiator in my room, so that's where I caught him, even though he was hiding inside the wall most of the time where I had no chance of getting to him. Long story short, don't lose hope! You'll find your snake eventually, even if it seems impossible and you have no experience at all :)
I helped my sister in law move to college and she never told me her snakes was lost - turns out I was driving around with it for a while, as she finally found it in her printer that I had in my car.
i lost my snake, in the morning before i was going to school, i found him in my backpack, oh fun edit: WELL I THOUGHT THIS ONLY GOT LIKE 1 LIKE SOOO tHanks for 300+ likes, love yall. btw, he did end up going to school that day, because i found out it was "bring your pet to school day" what a weird coi- okay so yeAh. edit2: hes climing into my backpack rn omg (ill upload a vid of him)
I have to thank you. I woke up to find that I forgot to put a book on one of the corners of my (very adventurous) cornsnake's enclosure. I freaked out, panic cleaned my room, turned all my stuff inside out. I calmed down to eat breakfast and watched this video, and during the first minute you said "check under the water bowl." I immediately got up and sure enough, my cornsnake (her name is Link) was chilling under the water bowl. At least I had some of the motivation today to clean my room!
My daughter lost a ball python for about 6 months. We thought it must have found a way outside... no sign of it at all. She was living in a rental and had just bought a new fridge that quit working.... They went to move the fridge to check it out and low and behold the snake was under it. No doubt she was the culprit of breaking it. She had been up inside the works apparently. BUT she was FAT! (Apparently they had a mouse problem that they weren't aware of?) She had shed more than once under there, and was looking quite smug. Lol.
We lost our baby corn the night we were bringing him home. He escaped while we were in the car. He was missing for 8 hrs. I just happened to see him heading down into the seat belt connector on the floor while checking the car for the millionth time.
I just discovered my snake escaped as I'm typing, we've already checked every where and I've set up some of her caves in random rooms. We still haven't found her and we're turning in for the night. Hope she turns up soon.
So this actually helped me locate my ball python after he got loose and went on an adventure!
We discovered him hiding behind some books on a shelf in the household library just outside the room his tank is in. Clearly he too wanted to get an education.
Haha! Smart noodle ❣️
You have a household library... You must have some money lol
bp are such interesting noodles
Funny danger noodle ^^

When I was 18 I moved into a friend's apartment and rented their spare room. I had several reptiles in tanks around my room. I was actually lying on the floor next to my bed watching tv when I felt a little nudge against my side from under the bed. I turned to look and found my California kingsnake had gotten out of his enclosure and had come over to me (presumably because I was the warmest thing around) and was slithering against me! I was surprised, and after telling him what a good snake he was for letting me know that he was ready to go back in his tank, I did just that, and double-checked the cage clasps! XD
Dude Ross oh my lord, i have a cali king too and i never believed what good escape artists they were until mine escaped today 🤦♀️

We just found my California Kingsnake alive and in brumation in our basement. He's been missing since the week I was gone for the 4th of July in 2020, almost 9 months ago. I definitely thought he was gone forever; I'd searched through everything when he first went missing. I'm so happy to have him back. Escape-proof your tanks, always make sure you close everything tightly every time you go into your snake's tank, no matter how long you've had them! Don't learn the hard way and go 3/4 of a year without your snake like I did. 😂
Wow! That's amazing & inspiring! Trying to find our little guy Milenko 2y.o. ball python. We don't even have a big, messy place! Just a small 2 bedroom apartment with 1 bathroom.

One of my friend’s snakes decided to escape right before he went on vacation. He was cleaning the tank, put the snake on the coatrack so it would be out of the way, and somehow forgot to put the snake back when he was done cleaning. He swore the snake must have gotten into the air vents or something. Luckily the house sitter found the little guy a few weeks later, just fine after his big adventure through the house.
Moral of the story: don’t get sidetracked when you’re done cleaning snake tanks, kids! Your snake might get clever and try to pull a Houdini on you!

If he failed to put it back in its enclosure, is that really an "escape"? XD
Amanda Croft Haha, good point! I’ll say yes since it did manage to get out of the room it was in somehow.
That's sounds very familiar to my friend snake escape artist story just this time the snake was put back then escaped later found in the air vents 😂
Very similar to my friend who failed to secure the lid of the snake tank the night before he left. Three of us watching his loft tore the place apart for several weeks. Unfortunately for us, the snake was still missing when he returned and we were blamed for it. Snake turned up couple hours later hanging from a floor lamp.

Place a couple cardboard boxes on a heating pad set to "low" and check the box frequently. You can put a thawed rodent in the box to entice it with scent.
I had this issue with my baby turtle, it was in a small tank(just a small plastic bin since it was about the size of a quarter at that time) and it crawled on the rocks that it had been moving. I have a cat so I was terrified the cat ate it. Thankfully Lil Jasper was found nice and safe and got a huge new tank after that little escape. Turtles might be known as slow but they are extremely fast when babies.
Amberlinn Rose Lee your turtle was named lil Jasper my name is jasper
@@yoda266 . the only reason I named her Lil Jasper is because I had like 20+ Minecraft turtles that I insisted needed to all be named Jasper at the same time. No idea why I was so fascinated in the name.

Floors covered in flour, 100 plastic bags laid out, 10 mice in bottles with holes poked into them, heat mats and hides positioned along the walls... 40 hours of constant searching later she was in a shoebox I had checked 3 times before, which was about 1 metre away from her tank 😂 don't stop checking areas you think you've already checked, best advice I've had!!

I lost my King snake when I was very young actually, this was while she was still growing and so occasionally would "outgrow" the methods I used to keep her tank lid on by getting big and strong enough to push through them (I was like, 8-10, not exactly the best experienced LOL)
She escaped only 3 times ever. Once I found her directly after she got out, slithering along the wall. The second time I found her in a laundry hamper a couple of weeks after her escape.
The third and final time was truly the worst. She had been gone for months, and I truly started to accept that she was just gone for good. I had a very large house at the time (Big family) and there was no possible way for me to check every inch of it or even ensure she was still in the house anywhere.
I think it was approaching 8 months when randomly, our newly moved in neighbor came to the door with a box. Surprise surprise, he had caught my snake. He told us that he had seen her slithering through his yard and went to grab her, immediately assuming she must be a pet due to her being very brightly colored albino but nearly full grown. He was going door to door asking everyone if they owned her because he figured that she couldn't have gotten far given that we had a lot of hawks and falcons in the area, and had been directed to our house because we were a little infamous on the block for being the "Animal House" (Parents were very much into herps in general) He almost didn't believe us when we told him how long she had been missing LOL
I was so genuinely blown away, it was crazy seeing her again after so long. I was so young at the time, she had been gone almost an entire school year which felt like forever as a kid. And this guy just found her casually slithering through his yard. It was so lucky that this guy both saw her at the exact right moment as she was passing through, AND had the knowledge (and compassion) to recognize she was a pet snake and try to bring her home to her owners.
Naturally we thanked him profusely and I think my parents even offered him some reward money. I was very grateful, I brought her back to her enclosure and the first thing she did was take a huge drink. I'd never seen a snake drink so much, she dunked her whole head in the dish and was practically just inhaling it. So remember to re-hydrate your snakes once you catch them LOL And never give up hope!
I'm happy to say nearly 15 years later she is still as happy and healthy as ever, about 6-7 ft now. No clue what the life expectancy of these guys are but she doesn't seem to be slowing down any yet. I'm still just so thankful that I got her back =)

First snake I lost was my egg eater... And he was missing for about a month... Only to be found once again.... Safely in his enclosure....
Shortly after he got out again... And I was 100% sure I did close the enclosure.... But eventually.... By just offering food in said enclosure... I could get him back...
And at some point later I woke up in the middle of the night and caught him red-tailed opening the enclosure himself... But a few peices of masking tape took care of that...

My checkered garter went missing once.searched the whole house many times over. He had been missing for nine months and we had given up hope of finding him, especially as we had two cats that were very prolific hunters (regularly returned with big rats from the farm nearby) I had decided to get rid of the vivarium but my then wife wanted me to start the house refurbing in the kitchen. First job was ripping offthe wooden edging as we were replacing it. I dug into it with a claw hammer and ripped thd first part off. He was hidden behind it and the hammer must have missed him by millimeters. He ws thin but not overly so so he must have been feeding on something.
Unfortunately he passed away a few years ago. He was always on the small side and wouldn't take any more than a large pinky to small fuzzy mouse. I am guessing he was a runt but he was ok in all other respects and lived to be about twelve years old.
Wanted to give a big thank you to Snake Discovery and the comments here.
My 2 year old, four foot long corn snake was assisted in a "prison break" by one of my fat cats creating a hole in the screened lid.
I frantically tossed the entire room, making sure my other reptiles/pets were secure. After a few hours, I was losing hope, and tried to calm down with this video.
It gave me time to collect my thoughts, and think "like a snake would".
I found him after ripping back my carpet and running my hands along the gap where the wall and floorboards meet. I saw the glint of his scales, and knew he was wedged in a pretty inaccessible spot.
I baited him out using a warmed up mouse, and when I caught a good glimpse of his body, snatched him like Steve Irwin! I was so relieved, and stuck him in a temporary enclosure while I triple checked the repairs I'd made to his normal enclosure.
After checking him all over, he looks perfectly healthy, and the little stinker managed to get a mouse outta me a few days before his actual feeding 😛
My takeaway is: be calm, be vigilant, and think like a snake. I feel like this is a good call to action to "pre" snake proof my reptile room now, so there aren't any crazy cracks to hide in!
You see, if you don’t have a snake, you’ll never lose one!

This video is worth it's views in gold weight. My escape artist ball got out for the third time recently, and this was the first long-term time we could not find her anywhere. She didn't go to either of the previous spots she went to and every other place in the apartment was too cold for her to possibly be interested in. It was like she just vanished in to thin air one night. I kept coming back to this video and going over all the tips over and over, setting out traps, sitting up working late in the pitch dark to try and lure her out, nothing. 13 days later, at 3:30AM on the day of Repticon here in Tampa, she knocks over a wine bottle and I find her on top of the fridge... That I took apart... Twice...
Your tips are absolutely invaluable, and the biggest and best one of all is DO NOT give up hope. We did after tearing the house apart, buying a 16ft USB endoscope to search every nook and crannie we could think of, and she literally just showed up in the middle of the night.
At the pet store I work at, we are mainly a fish and lizard store but have snakes. A milk snake got out during feeding, our floor and pet associate spent the next two weeks looking everywhere for it. About two weeks after that was found by a customer in a cart.

As you may imagine, he asked me on the phone if I was willing to bring him over new underwear lol.

I was gonna say "I've never lost a snake!" then I realized I was a liar lol I just got lucky! My common Colombian boa has gotten out twice: the first time she managed to push her way out of the temporary tub we had her in while building her actual enclosure. I had spend the night at my fiance's (then bf) but Satin had a first vet visit that morning. Came back and no snake. We started tearing the room apart, and while I was halfway under the bed I turned my head towards our mini fridge and there she was poking her head out like "what's all the fuss??". The second time was years later, someone didn't put her enclosure doors back on properly (we lived in an apartment with roommates, I didn't know someone was opening her enclosure without me or fiance there) and we found her that morning literally no more than 2 feet from the enclosure, just hanging out between the wall and a twin mattress we were moving. Then again, it's much easier to find a 7+ foot long snake! 😂

I recently lost a snake and have had no luck so I decided to watch this video again, it’s extremely helpful but I wanted to add a tip for rack owners! If you own multiple snakes in a rack system check your rack first, behind bins and next to them! I’ve lost a snake or two over the years and typically find them within minutes because they are somewhere in a rack lol!
Mine has escaped twice; luckily found within a few hours. The first time it took a few hours to figure out he'd escaped. and was found within 10 minutes of searching. He'd traveled along the objects at the height of his enclosure and ended up hiding in a window. He stuck his little head between the blinds to say hi! The second time was only after half an hour (idiot me took the lid off and got distracted) he went about a foot and hid in a packing box. Again, he stuck his head out to say hi when he heard all the commotion of me moving stuff. I really don't know what I'd do if he want missing longer than that D:

Also me: lives in a tiny apartment with an 8ft long boa
I feel you! Small house, 7ft boa. Hard to loose.
I have a friend who let their boa constrictor out of the cage most of the time because you can’t lose a snake that’s that big
"Oh no! Where's my boa!" * Boa two feet away staring at their idiot *: Feed me.
I have a messy room and 7 inch lizard so good luck to me if my beardie escapes…
@@bulldozer1163 why is it that big tho lol
My Kenyan sand boa has made it his hobby to escape. First time he got out I found him an hour later in a drawer of art supplies. My cats found him the second time while he was scooting along the walls (they thankfully aren't interested in doing more than curious paw proddings), and the third time he wedged himself under the fridge. He's now in an Alcatraz-esque security level enclosure, and my cats won't stop looking under my fridge.
I watched this video nearly 3 years ago when it came out after just getting my first ball python. Now I'm revisiting it after losing my baby hognose... She was right about losing a snake being inevitable.
DID YOU EVER FIND THE BABY?????
@@dxrhxx.14 Yes! I found her 2 weeks later in a pile of laundry! I was so relieved!
My adult ball python escaped about a month after that, but I knew right away because he knocked over some cans in his escape attempt XD
Had my hognose escape on me in our apartment while i was at work, looked everywhere and no luck, was pretty sure the cat and/or dog had got her. fast forward two months and i was tossing our laundry in the bathroom in the hamper to go to wash it that week and sure enough i tossed the little noodle in the basket too. shes lucky she wound up on top where i saw her right away or she would have ended up loose in my car or my parents house to probably never be seen again. this is the same snake that somehow survived a 2 year hunger strike, though now she is finally eating again and getting nice andchunky=) Never lose hope
It always amazes me how snakes can go on hunger strikes and survive them for months and months. They're amazing sturdy animals
Monica Jean she was probably eating insects or maybe a mouse for 2 years
When my snake got loose, we found them a week later curled into my dad's computer printer! We had to take apart the printer to get it out.
Why am I watching this I dont even have a snake
come to the dark side!
@@zachvanarsdale7065 Haha I wish! My dad has hated snakes ever since we found a rattlesnake under a log nearby our house a few years ago. Hes definitely not a snake fan!
I relate heavily. Growing up my mom had a tremendous fear of snakes so I could never keep them. I was allowed to keep lizards, frogs, etc, but never snakes. But now that I'm off to college, I get to speak for myself a bit! and now have 4 and counting snakes.... point being, its a marathon not a sprint, you will one day!
Awesome!! Hope you have an awesome time!
I cherish every moment (:
Thank you so much. I lost my snake about two hours and this made me feel a lot better about it. I thought it wasn’t common and felt so bad. I started to panic. Thank you
I got a ball python for christmas, and I got her two logs, one was to big so i left it in the corner of my room and gave her the smaller one cause it was more comfy for her. Just a few months ago she escaped and we found her in the log in the corner of my room just chilling. 👍🏻
Do you live in Australia because i have been looking for a ball python so do you know any Aussie breeders

I had a corn snake who figured out how to open his aquarium and was loose in our large two story house for 4 months. Two months in we we’re on vacation and my cousin found him strolling about, put him back in his enclosure and of course the little Houdini popped the lid open again. XD Finally two months later I found him shoved in the back of a closet and had to rig his aquarium with about ten Velcro strips in different places to make sure he couldn’t pop the lid open by constricting and squeezing the screen till it slId open a bit. Definitely a smart escape artist snake my other corn snake never could figure out how the other snake opened the cage. XD But If you ever want to keep people away from your house tell them you have a snake loose and not to step on anything you see moving around on the floor, and most people will run out of their like a bat out of hell. O_O
That excuse is convenient for introverts. Dont wanna hang out with friends? Tell em you have a snake loose in your housr
My soon-to-be-in-laws don't like snakes. Want to know how we keep them away when they come pounding on our door? "We're just about to feed Bellatrix. Wanna watch?" Nope! Bye bye!
Aquarium? I think it’s a vivarium
this would of been useful a month ago when my hognose decided it would be great to go say hi to the only person in our house who is scared of snakes 😭
Well hognoses are so darn cute it should have made a great impression on that person.
Patshhi4 oh yes we all heard her very excited screams as midir (hognose) went to go give her a goodnight kiss at 3am lol
Love it!
I am fully convinced that some animals know which people don't like them and decide to go be assholes and greet those specific people.

I lost my baby corn snake this morning and stressed over it for two hours but I heard my caretaker scream while looking through my closet. Turns out it was hiding in a box of hats. Fed the baby and nearly sobbed out of joy. Definitely making sure it won't escape again.
The plastic bag trick is how we found our albino corn snake when it escaped it was out for about 3 days
Hey i have an albino corn snake too!
What's the plastic bag trick
I’m just imagining a little, noodle slithering down my stairs😂
Me: about to say I don’t have a snake
My ferret: “am i a joke to you?”
Fuzzy snake
I think you have a snake but it's called a floofy one
Furry snake
Ded Memes lucky...I want a ferret
xD
My ball python and my hedgehogs enclosures are in the same room and one time my ball python escaped and we found her sharing a blanket with the hedgie😂. They’re habitats overlap in the wild and they don’t bother each other so it was actually pretty cute to see them curled up right next to each other
That's like some children's story level cute there
how many of don't own a snake bt still watching the video with interest
Me, but I'm going to get a snake soon
I have always wanted a snake but I don’t have one, I have been watching this channel for like a year and a half
Me. I want I snake but I'm not allowed to have 1 yet.
One time my ball python escaped and we were looking for an hour until i found him.
he was trying to eat my fish lmao
Lol poor fish
He is a ball python are a garter we may never know
Well if my snake ever escapes I’m definitely gonna know where it is I have 4 cats 😭😂
Same
oh god...
Omg be carefull
Oh my lord/dog/god
My dogs have no interest thankfully.
Thank you for this, it really helped ease my mind. I have an escape artist who is currently lost in my house, and you really helped me calm down and have a starting point and a plan. Thank you 😊 Hopefully she pops up soon, and hopefully I find her before my dogs or cat do.
How did it go?

Relly?
Imagine forgetting that you just lost your snake but you forgot, imagine your reaction when u find it
Lost my corn snake several weeks back. They’re native so I wasn’t super concerned. Found her a week later behind the shelving above the toilet one night durning my shower. Fun times
Me reading this on the toilet: 💀
When I got my first snake, he escaped and I went insane looking for him. He was tiny. My mom refused to come in bc she hates snakes and funnily enough, she found him.
How long did it take you?
@@day2041 he went missing sometime while we were out. Only took like 45 minutes tops to find him. And he was a dekays brown snake. So super small.
That's how my mom is. She said that if he ever got out (I'm getting my snake on Wednesday) and no one is around to get him, she'll let our cats get him. I'm making sure he doesn't get out. XD
we lost our first cornsnake in late fall, and found him curled up in the tent in the closet in early spring. Best we could figure is he spent the winter curled up in there lol. Hopefully this will never happen again. My anxiety is a blessing in this instance since I triple check enclosures now.
2020 stress level: losing 1 of the 0 snakes I own
I love this so much. I recently lost my baby milk snake, Frank, he's only tiny and I'm so stressed and guilt ridden. I'm using all the techniques. I love your channel and I hope I find him soon. We suspect he's in the floor...
Did you ever find him?
..in?
*Were is Frank is he safe?*
Good luck finding him hope all goes well
MY SNAKE IS CALLED FRANK TOO!!
i had a ball python "escape" i knew where it was, i just couldn't get to it. there was a cavity between his terrarium and the one above him for cables, he managed to loosen the plug from the cable hole, and hid between the terrariums. i kept trying to feed it in the terrarium hoping to lure it back. apparantly after 2 months he got hungry and went back in his terrarium to eat. when we moved the terrariums later he had shed in there, and the shed was almost in one piece
jeez a ball python
Thought my new baby cal king must have somehow escaped (though couldn't see or figure out how). Actually broke apart (carefully) the hollow commercial branch hides that I had in his cage, and emptied and then put back all cage accessories. Waited about 30 minutes during which I was searching for this video to put my mind at ease. Looked in his cage again and there he was in his enclosure. Now I really want to know where he was hiding, because fully dismantled his habitat searching for him. So grateful to have found him so quickly and "easily". But thanks for the vid. It helped during that short time of panic.
My cat does this - she just dematerializes. I check all her usual spots (behind the washing machine & under the sofa) and she's just nowhere. I shake her cat food can: nothing. Then 30 minutes later she comes wandering in like "lunch time?"
Me: watches tons of snake instructional videos so i can take care of my snakes properly.
Also me:doesn’t own or want to ever own snakes.
Same! I love snakes, but live in New Zealand where there are no snakes (not even in zoos!)
Snakes aren't even allowed as pets where I live so-
Seductive Squid rip the noodles
I don't have or want snakes either, but my sister has like 20 or so and is guaranteed to walk away with at least one more whenever she goes to a reptile show.
I lost my Little milk snake. My dad found her with my cat(unharmed thankfully). We put her back in thinking maybe we left the door open. But no, she went to the back wall foam rock thing and worked her way between that and the glass to come out this tiny hole where the clasps are. Smart little thing. We took the foam insert out and stuffed the hole with some tissue and tape. She hasn’t gotten not since xX
They were having a hissy chat lol
This happened in our house with our old milk snake but not unharmed
“Warm Areas will attract snakes” ok my house is one place they will hide
I don’t own a snake but my room is the hottest room in my house, so that will be a great place to look if a snake got loose in my house lol
Edit: I just saw this comment a few weeks after I got a corn snake. She escaped-
My house is kinda cold (that's why I don't have snakes)
@@bulbasaurhimself8914 thats also why heat mats exists lol
@@anni.1076 yeah ik but still
@@bulbasaurhimself8914 i understand that, especially if the "snake-escape" scenario happens , the Snake won't have anything to warm up in a mostly cool temperatured house, right
Don’t panic I followed these steps and searched my house and found my missing ball python in no time
Where’d you find it?
Another useful and amazing video, I'm sure!
EDIT: Huh I never would have thought of some of these. The plastic bags and flour trails are especially clever!
watches just one of your vids
RUclips: heard you like sneks
Im concerned with your profile pic the balkenkreuz is a Nazi war symbol if I were I would change just so you don't get called a Nazi.
No disrespect to you just finished my 7th grade WWII unit.

My corn snake has escaped one time and I read one piece of advice that really helped me find her... LOOK EVERYWHERE! And I mean everywhere, in every place in that room, even the places you think that they couldn’t possibly get into. I tore apart my entire room and looked through every nook in cranny including stripping the bed of sheets and moving the mattress, through all my drawers, behind every book in the bookshelf, etc. the one spot I didn’t look, however, was inside a plastic drawer tower I had in the closet because I though there were no holes or gaps for her to get in. But when I finally ran out of places to look, I opened the very first drawer and voilà, there she was!
This will probably get buried in the comments but maybe someone needs to hear this. I lost my tiny 6 months old garter snake in my room in an old building with an infinite amount of hiding spaces and I thought I'd never see him again - he could literally fit between a tiny space between the floor and the baseboard. But I still found him after a few days! He never moved away from the radiator in my room, so that's where I caught him, even though he was hiding inside the wall most of the time where I had no chance of getting to him. Long story short, don't lose hope! You'll find your snake eventually, even if it seems impossible and you have no experience at all :)
This is super helpful since my ball python, Molly, went missing a few days ago. Thank you so much😊
I hope you find her! :D
Hope u find her
Good luck. Hope she shows up soon.
I hope she turns up soon, but even if she's gone a while she'll probably still turn up. Good luck!
I hope she's ok!
I helped my sister in law move to college and she never told me her snakes was lost - turns out I was driving around with it for a while, as she finally found it in her printer that I had in my car.
i lost my snake, in the morning before i was going to school, i found him in my backpack, oh fun
edit: WELL I THOUGHT THIS ONLY GOT LIKE 1 LIKE SOOO tHanks for 300+ likes, love yall.
btw, he did end up going to school that day, because i found out it was "bring your pet to school day" what a weird coi- okay so yeAh.
edit2: hes climing into my backpack rn omg (ill upload a vid of him)
Well it thought it was bring-your-snek-to-school-day!
bring ur noodle to skool day
There's a snake in my backpack!
Thats gonna be fun to explain to your teachers
😂🤣👏
I have to thank you. I woke up to find that I forgot to put a book on one of the corners of my (very adventurous) cornsnake's enclosure. I freaked out, panic cleaned my room, turned all my stuff inside out. I calmed down to eat breakfast and watched this video, and during the first minute you said "check under the water bowl." I immediately got up and sure enough, my cornsnake (her name is Link) was chilling under the water bowl.
At least I had some of the motivation today to clean my room!
Should have told the story of your snake that went missing for 6 months
I wanna hear THAT story
She told the story in a previous video, it's her female rat snake. (can't remember which video though)
Which video was that?
@@animemusicluver1 I think it's right in the end of the vid about the 2018 breeding plans.
My daughter lost a ball python for about 6 months. We thought it must have found a way outside... no sign of it at all. She was living in a rental and had just bought a new fridge that quit working.... They went to move the fridge to check it out and low and behold the snake was under it. No doubt she was the culprit of breaking it. She had been up inside the works apparently. BUT she was FAT! (Apparently they had a mouse problem that they weren't aware of?) She had shed more than once under there, and was looking quite smug. Lol.
We lost our baby corn the night we were bringing him home. He escaped while we were in the car. He was missing for 8 hrs. I just happened to see him heading down into the seat belt connector on the floor while checking the car for the millionth time.
Omg I read that 8 yrs....
I literally went "oh shit where's my snake?!" And let me tell you something.... I dont have a snake.
I just discovered my snake escaped as I'm typing, we've already checked every where and I've set up some of her caves in random rooms. We still haven't found her and we're turning in for the night. Hope she turns up soon.
Any luck?
@@GudetamaSit nope not yet
