Re: Escaped baby Kingsnake! Help!

Sorry to tell you this, but she is probably dead. Snakes can only go a week without water and warmth.

That's a pretty pessimistic outlook... I'm pretty sure people have had snakes get out and survive way longer than a week....

Honestly, what was the point in even saying that?

OP, make sure to look really well all around the enclosure, a lot of the time they don't go too far.

I'm going to disagree with this statement. Years ago I had a ball python that escaped and was gone for 3 months before miraculously reappearing and I've heard of other snakes being found after even longer periods.

OP- Don't lose hope.

1. Kingsbakes are North American. They can handle a bit of time without warmth. You don't normally see or hear of any with RI for this reason.

2. Snakes aren't chumps. They can find water just fine if need be in a house. They aren't helpless creatures without us.

Keep searching! Make a project of it and invite some friends and family over to help. How long has she been missing now? It gets really important to find her the more this drags on.

Re: Escaped baby Kingsnake! Help!

I say keep searching and good luck! Snakes are hardier than most would think. I had a rat snake get loose when I was new to the hobby as well. He was gone for over 5.5 months, through the winter, and I found him that spring, knocking with his head on my neighbors' door. So you never know. I wish you all the best!
