Re: catching an escapee...
I'm not sure if i am the first one seeing this but... How old is your son? If he is younger shouldn't someone be watching him while he is holding it? Good luck on finding it.

Re: catching an escapee...
He's 8. He's been very good with the snakes over the past few months. His sister came up behind him and startled him, causing him to let go long enough for the snake to take off, then he was scared to tell anyone.

Re: catching an escapee...
poor guy, I bet he feels terrible. I believe it was Eli who had one of his corns escape for a month or two before it turns up. Try putting flower or baking soda on the floor where it meets the wall and see if you can follow his tracks.
Best of luck.

Re: catching an escapee...
This can be a lesson for your son on why he needs to tell you ASAP when something bad happens.
Good luck on finding your snake!

Yup, I sat down with him and talked, not yelled, but talked with him about it. Made it clear its better to come to us with a problem immediately than to wait. He was already feeling bad, wanted to keep it calm and not make it worse for him.

I know when I was younger I always appreciated it when my parents approached things this way. It made me feel better but at the same time taught me a lesson. I knew my parents would always be there for me even if I disappointed them.

Re: catching an escapee...
Make sure you put water out for the snake, food it can go without for ages but water it WILL need. Also as the house temps arent as hot as the temps in the viv i would be wary of feeding as it wont be able to digest.
When you find it i would leave it a week in the correct temps before offering food.

Re: catching an escapee...
Thats always good to hear. As long as he is normally good with the snake, acidents happen right!

Re: catching an escapee...
Glad it turned out ok. The open house can be a dangerous place for a loose snake and I'm glad this story has a happy ending.
