Rhapsody Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Ok I only have myself to blame, I go on a weeks holiday to loverly sunny Kalamata and come back to a very upset farm-sitter telling me one of my sons' snakes has done a bunk!! All horses dogs chooks etc fine but the lowest-maintenance creature on the place causes the problem. Now what? Normally we catch him straight away but he's been missing since Thursday, we have turned on the central heating and left a brained mouse on the living room floor (sorry)....any other ideas?

theherd123 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Can i laugh? I know i shouldnt! What the heck! Oh my life its always active down at your place isnt it? Do you think the snake is still in the house? How big is it? Obviously the bigger the better in this case as at least it can be spotted Will it just come out of its own accord?

Rhapsody Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 No luck yet poor Sol he was quite a character for a corn snake, used to watch TV with the kids and thrash about with his defrosted mouse as if it was fighting back. I think he's gone bless him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) A shoe box, with a small hole in one corner and another brained mouse might tempt him home. Ours likes to hide when he's just eaten Edited August 21, 2007 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 Ta, we tried leaving the mouse out with his hide nearby and a pile of cushions for good measure, maybe we'll try it again in a couple of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballgunner Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 one of our two corn snake escaped a few days ago but we cant find him so we cut a coca cola bottle top off, and took the lid off . so we made a bottle trap and put a pinky in. but sadly he hasnt turned up yet. i would advise looking at live food uk on the forum as people on there have solutions. i hope you find your snake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
