still missing?

Question

I posted a ? yesterday about my missing 7foot rock python.. thank you for all the good answers but i have looked in all those places. Has anyone heard of them going into toilets and getting into sewer lines? That is my last option besides tearing my walls apart

Answer 1

Your snake is looking for a warm spot....nothing else...it is not down the toilet....

Just look anywhere a source of heat may be found....the frideg, lights in the ceiling (must look in the attic), VCR's, DVD's, 'puters...anywhere you will find seclusion and heat....

Good Luck

Answer 2

I've helped with this one before. Got to the pet shop, get a ten gallon tank with a cover, water bottle and a few cheap mice. Keep the cage locked and on the floor for a week or two. Feed the mice well, they need care like any other animal you keep. But one morning you will be greeted by the now very hungry snake that was hidden away and no one could find, snooping around the mouse tank! Dont think so? Balance a glass or wine bottle on top of the tank cover. If the python coms in for a midnight snack while your asleep youll hear the glass being knocked over in frustration. I've bred snakes for 15 years and know how to find them again. It works!

Answer 3

If your 7 foot snake got into the walls, it would have left a hole somewhere. Although they can squeeze through fairly small spaces, any grilles in the walls would have been bent to let the snake through.
The tendency is for them to seek heat. Have you looked BEHIND your fridge? The area behind the fridge gets pretty warm.
Whereas theoretically, the snake could have gone into the toilet, it would prevent the toilet from flushing. If your toilet is flushing ok, the snake is not in it.
If the snake has gone THROUGH the toilet, you can give it up.
If it has survived the trip through the toilet AND your house drain lines and got into the open sewer system, it is by now anywhere in town.
Other options: below the stove/oven, anywhere near a pilot light (house furnace cabinet), BEHIND the stove/oven.
Inside kitchen cabinets (probably near the oven).

Answer 4

When we had our red-tailed boa and he got out we always looked under the things that give off heat. So check where there are a lot of plugs and running household appliances. If you have checked those places try looking high. A lot of the time we would find him in the light fixtures in the bath rooms. And have you looked in you car or in the yard. My brother once left his snake in the car and he was in the dash bored for a week before we found him. And our cousin left him in the back yard we might have never off found him that time if mom had not went out there a few minutes after they left.
One more thing if you have boxes in you closet check in there... Jake the snake was curled up in my brothers box of Playboys " smart snake" hope you find him.

Answer 5

Yeah I have heard of them going into sewer lines. Keep looking. They can easily get into vents and cupboards. My python was along the door frame!

Answer 6

i dont recomend that u tear your walls apart but call a professional veterinarian or exterminater they will know what to do and yes i have heard about them getting into toilets but it is an urban legend about the sewer lines
