About a month ago, I bought a 4ft corn snake at a reptile store. Bought a viv, lights, hiding place, aspen bedding, etc. Being a first time snake owner, I was pretty excited about my new pet but I ran into a huge problem.
One day, I left my pet in a box with a thawed out mouse and accidentally left my house to go eat, COMPLETELY forgetting about the new pet I had left in my room. Lo and behold, after 15 minutes I walk back into my room and the snake is gone. With the mice still there T.T
Frantically, I looked everywhere looking in every dark, quiet, spot I could possibly find. Flipped everything inside out, and still nothing. Overnight, I left out some water, basking light, and a hiding spot hoping he would be in there, but nothing.
My house is two stories, with 4 bedrooms upstairs. I've ruled out my room, and my brothers room across the hall, having checked every inch of the rooms. However, after almost destroying the other two rooms looking for the snake, I've also ruled out that the snake is not upstairs. Who knows maybe I haven't looked hard enough?
My question is: How can I lure my snake out? I've heard that snakes like warm, dark, places. Funny thing is, the 1st story is constantly ice cold, having wooden floors and windows constantly open. However, upstairs is very warm, carpeted, and has many hiding places. Could my snake be upstairs or downstairs? And how would I be able to make sure? How would I be able to lure out the snake? It's a 4ft foot snake, I didn't think it would be so hard to find T.T
Please help! Any suggestions would be great!
