Escaped Stimson

Hi All,
Our female stimson got out of her enclosure two days ago now and we can't find her anywhere.
Have tried leaving rats out and powder etc.My children and partner miss her.
I really believe he is still in the houe but aside from tearing open all the furniture we have searched everywhere.Had a late night trying to hear her.Any advice would be great as she is a much loved pet and we do not want to lose her.
This is the first time we have lost one of our beauties and I am kicking myself,but am trying everything to find her

it's hard not to stress but 80% are found again, mine was found after 256 days by my next door neighbor in their drain!

Make sure you tell your neighbors about it so they don't think it's a brown snake and kill it if they see it!!

As you can see from mertle's post, there is always a chance it will turn up. Good luck!

I was worried she may have went down one of the drains. But wasnt sure if she would have survived if she did that.

your stimson should show up
they like playing hide and seek, just dont get to worked up.
as has been said, most will give up and show themselves : )

We have 5 dogs and 4 cats! lol, and they never put up a fuss, so the snakes can move undetected,

if it's that old it will have no trouble finding a nice place to hide and support itself so don't lose hope!!!
