Re: New RB, Big oops!
I have some good news!
So I put flour around the large appliances right after I discovered she was missing. Finally, today, there was a flour trail showing that she exited the flour circle around the oven! This means she spent the entirety of last week camped under and around the oven. I've blocked off the space under there, so she can't return, now.
It seems she headed in the direction of the dishwasher, so I bet she is under there now. I put a flour circle around that, and moved some water, a mouse in a snake trap thing, and some humid hides right nearby. Now that I know she is alive and vaguely where she is, hopefully I can finally nab her!
I also finished setting up the tub enclosure, so I'll have a nice and secure place to put her when I find her

Re: New RB, Big oops!
It's great that she's fine. Can you move the appliances of the kitchen? I feel that you are losing some time waiting for her to come out. They are very discreet and probably she'll move to another spot unnoticed again. Good luck!

Re: New RB, Big oops!
If you think your snake is under the dishwasher, you should get under there and look. Most, if not all dishwashers, have a removable kick panel.

Re: New RB, Big oops!
Welp, it turns out I was a bit off. (I looked under the dishwasher, but there was a nook back there I couldn't see into).
Last night, I set out a fuzzy, and went to bed....and then my boyfriend woke me up an hour later saying "I HAVE THE SNAKE!!"
Turns out she actually crawled out from under the oven again, up onto the table, and attempted to get back into her old enclosure. Boyfriend heard her moving over the aluminum foil and nabbed her.
She is now safe in a warm and humid plastic shoebox! She ate her fuzzy as well. I'll get her situated in the bigger tub I made her today when I get home from work.
So yay - Chaska is returned!

Re: New RB, Big oops!
Glad you found her, she's very nice looking. I personally love the CRB/BRB crosses, I love how yours has the clean BRB pattern but earthy CRB color. I won't ever make any but if I ever come across one I'll definitely get it. I love how yours has the clean BRB pattern but earthy CRB color.

Re: New RB, Big oops!
Woooot major congrats -- I am very happy for you.
Make sure you give her a thorough inspection (after she digests), and keep her temps up by an extra degree or two for a few days to pump her immune system.

Re: New RB, Big oops!
Yay! She's so cute! Glad she turned up. It's funny how escapees often try to get back into their enclosures. I had a king that escaped once and I didn't even realize she had gotten out until I walk into my room and see her trying to find a way back into her enclosure!

Re: New RB, Big oops!
Hey we just might have littermates! She looks just like my Atticus, a brb/crb I got at Repticon in Nampa in September.

Oh hey, I didn't know there were other peeps in Idaho here! I got mine from Rockin' Reptiles in downtown Boise.
And thanks everyone! Complaining here while she was missing helped me feel better and not stress so much
Chaska seems quite happy in her new tub - it's a big Ziplock tub with four latches. No way she is getting out of that, and she has room to grow. I am going to give her a thorough inspection when I get home from work, since her last meal should be all digested now!

Re: New RB, Big oops!
Congrats there wingbeats! I am so glad you had the persistence to never give up looking! Make sure to give the little girl extra hiding places in the new tub since it's a grow out tub. Please never take your eyes off her when that lid is off. Great work and kudos to you and boyfriend.
