Lost Circe

Oh goodness. So I let my Circe out to eat and the phone rang so I took my eyes off her for a sec and now she is gone for two days. I am a little upset about this. I live in a small dorm room with nowhere to go, but there is a LOT of stuff where she could be hiding. Suggestions? :sobstory:
 
sorry to hear that you lost your snake. Do a search on the forum for lost or missing snakes...you will come up with a lot of ideas.
 
I heard or read somehwere that laying in wait for the snake at night when it will be active is a good idea (tiring though!) The other tactic was to put some food in a paper bag and wait in the dark. It will rustle the bag if it goes in to take the food.
 
I would check the most intricate spots near where you last saw her. My snake got out overnight once and I found him in a long paper bag with wood moulding in it. It was only inches from where he escaped and I had checked all over the room since then. Anything that would look like a nice comfy hide, even blankets, pillows, etc. Also, do that search for more detailed info. Good luck!
 
yes, when they do escape, they usually dont go much further than their viv, or where ever they escaped from. you can put that powder in doorways, (I forgot what kind of powder, baking maybe?) and if the snake goes through a doorway, you will see the markings through the powder, try that one.
 
oh man. It’s been like 5 days now and still no Circe. This is driving me nuts! I really really need to get another snake if she doesn’t tern up, but then if she turns up afterward they’d have to live together since I live in a small college one room dorm. Youd think it would be easy to find her in one little room, but with all the stuff I got, I just can’t! I am curious, how close does a corn have to be to be able to sense/smell/be attracted to a pinkie lying out for her?

Also, if I do get around to getting another snake, does anyone know of any species that does NOT spend all it’s time trying to get away from you? Ball python maybe?

is there such a thing as snake that doesn't escape when they have the oppurtunity? my friend had a ball python once, it escaped constantly. I'm new to owning a snake, but I don't think I've ever heard of a sanke that has never pulled off an esacpe when given the oppurtunity. :shrugs:
 
no no. i don't mean escape from cage. i mean if it is on you, it doesn't try to leave, but just sort of hangs about? my friend's adult ball does that quite a bit. he will wind around a neck and sit for hours.

ah, yes. my friend's python did that a good bit as well. Yhea, if you are looking for a snake that will wrap around you, ball python is probably the way to go.
 
oh god oh god. i really miss my Circe. here's the problem though, if i do get a ball i'd have to get a different inclosure and everything... then if Circe shows up i will have to keep them seperate and there just isn't enough room for it i am afraid!
 
if you get a ball hatchling, you can keep it in a 10 gallon for a little bit. Then move up to 20, a 20 gallon is enough for an adult ball, but, when I get mine, and it becomes an adult, I'd like to get a bigger viv for him/her, but they can live fine in a 20 gallon.
 
does anyone else ever feel like this? or am i just crazy?

I remember telling people that if I couldn’t have a snake pet with me I could not function properly (back when the floor had to have a vote) I wasn’t kidding. I was going to raise her, watch her grow into a beautiful mature corn and now she is gone and I don’t know what I will do. Funny thing is I still can’t force myself to regret loosing her. I am still incapable of regret. I keep thinking, in my naive mind, that although I am miserable at the moment, this will tern out for the best. Somehow.
Instead I am satisfied with myself and just want to hold my Circe, any Circe again. Not being able to feel her is like missing part of my body. Not only is it unnerving and depressing, not only do I miss her, but it is actually physicly disturbing. it's been a week and for a week every time i dream, i dream of finding my Circe, only to realize it's not her, or it is her, or that she is dead, or that she had babies, or that she is an adult... i try to sleep but all i can think of is the lack of Circe in my hands. my hands have forgotten her. as if they were cut off and i can no longer remember what it feels like to have hands. this is how i feel. (a bit from my LJ i thought i'd share for some reason. i am going insain, maybe that's why. lol)
