I had it in there with a screen top and heavy thermometer not thinking it would get out. Well it did and now cant fine it ANYWHERE in my room. I took everything out of a basket of stuff, took out everything under my bed and dresser. Not there. I emptied my closet floor and found nothing. My dad knows but I havent told my mom yet but its fine cause she used to raise and keep snakes and that kinda stuff with a previous husband. My door was closed and I dont think it got out under it and the cats and dog havent found anything yet.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I would catch this thing? Right now I just have a heating pad on, on the floor. My brother suggested getting an infrared light and shining it on the pad. Ive looked around the internet to see what other people have done and they say try the stick mouse traps, putting flour or baby powder on the floor to see where they have been goin to.

in my experiance mate (i used to breed snakes as a job) the more you look for it the more it will hide. most of the time thay just turn up out of the blue in places like sinks and stuff like that were there is water . i had a snake show up in the washing machine once was fine and dandy. i would avoid the cricket in a tub idea mate as all thay will do is fill your house with anoying crickets and the snake wont care about them as u know thay eat meat not insects , like i said mate the best thing to do is just to keep you eyes open if u move all the stuff about in your house all you will do is scare the snake into moveing to a diff hideing spot . hope that helps mate i once had a nile monitor escape in a moveng car we had to take the car apart to get the lil bugger out lol

Look in any naturally warm spots. Computer cases, around baseboard. etc... It's cold outside, so I'd bet he'd stay away from the exterior walls.

Put out a heat lamp, and some live food under a glass.
