She escaped!!!!

I just went to check on my female spider ball python...and she's not there! I cant believe she was able to push her way out of her tub! It was sealed tight as a drum when I opened it! I have the cats locked in their kennels until I hopefully find her! This stinks!

Oh Gosh.... I hope you find her soon!!! Good luck.

Holy crap for sure.He could be anywhere.Good luck.

I'm freaking out! I've already ripped the house apart...moved the fridge, oven, furniture, and anything else I can think of. The worst part is i left the reptile room door open all night...to help keep it warmer (for some reason that room stays a little cooler in the winter). She could be anywhere!

Good luck finding her, how big is she?

Check all the warmer areas first!
That does suck!
Check the room you locked the cats in too!

good luck finding her..

Hope you find her. She'll survive a good 6 weeks probably before she has issues related to food/water...but you'll want to find her ASAP regardless.

Try baiting her with a defrosted mouse/rat...(and make sure that the cats don't eat it)...

Check heating ducts...

The cats are locked in their kennels...not a room. I figured if i locked them in a room...my luck would put them and the snake in the same room.

she is only about 24" long.

The frantic hunt continues.

I thought of that, but she hates defrosted food (wont even come out of her hide when I place it in her tub). I do have some live mice I could stick out in a small cage. i put a heat mat on the floor with a hide over it, to try coaxing her in.

Thanks for the advice everyone!
