My Corn Escaped and I'm afraid it is in the walls.

"Sexy Bitch" is a 6 mo. albino female corn who, I guess, felt somewhat adventurous last night and escaped from her viv. How she did it, I still cannot figure it out as it is sealed very well all around with no holes, but she did it anyways. I searched all over my room and she is no where to be found.

Her is my somewhat strange dilemma. My room was just repainted and the trimmings were to be put back on tomorrow. So as of right now there is an opening all along the walls of my room that basically leads to inside the wall itself. I'm afraid that she has managed to crawl under and is now living inside the walls. I'm afraid to put on my trimmings thus effectively sealing her inside. Is there a chance that she could be in there and is there a way to make her some out, such as, banging on the walls. I'll try the "pinkie in a bottle" trick tonight, but I'm almost sure she has made herself inside the walls. I won't put the trimmings back on until I find her, but I've heard that could take years or never happen at all.

Any advice on coaxing a snake from inside a wall? :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
 
Your quickest route to a lot of good advice on this subject will be to type the words "lost" and "escape" into the search engine.

Good luck finding you snake.....

OK...there are LOTS of things wrong with this scenario.

First of all, you should NOT have had your snake in a freshly painted room. The fumes could harm it.

Secondly, have you removed everything from the tank to make sure she isn't hiding somewhere inside of it? Look inside of anything that might offer a hiding spot to her (inside hollow trees, etc).

Thirdly, what possessed you to name her that?

Fourthly, what possessed you to steal my name?

OK...got that out of my system...now for some helpful hints:
You can use toothpicks perpendicular to the wall to try to help you see what area she might be in. You can also put flour on the floor to watch for snake tracks. The bottle traps can also work. Good luck!

Well, the room isn't that freshly painted. Basically it was two weekends ago. Next weekend I painted the trimmings and this weekend I was going to put them on. The fumes were long gone already, I just used bad choice of words in my first post.

I didn't name her... (I know its a weird name but I honored my promise to not change it).
:shrugs:

Thanks for the tips.
 
I thought i lost my snake from a well sealed tank, but she was hiding under the substrate so that you could'nt see her above or below the glass. is it possible she's just really good at hiding? how large is she?
 
Just from a construction stand point even if the trim is off the wall. The sheetrock should still be hung down enough to not have a large gap there that would allow entry into the wall. On top of that studs are spaced at 16" O.C. so it dosent have much room to run and will surely come out if it is infact inside the wall. I agree with what everyone else is telling you about double checking the tank. I would start by pulling everything out one by one untill you get to the substrate and checking every possiable hiding spot in any hides you have inside the tank. THen pull the substrate out a hand ful at a time to be sure its just not coiled up under it all.
