I just went to hold my 12month old bredli and it was gone, it has pushed a gap in the sliding doors i think! Do the snakes tend to climb up stairs or would i stay down stairs and go in my walk in closet any help please!!!!!
thanks Paul

About 7 months ago one of my snakes escaped and we searched the house top to bottom and couldn't find her, then I lifted the blanket up on my bed and she was curled up asleep on my bed lol.
I hope that you find him.

Look in and under EVERYTHING . l found a 6 footer in the wardrobe around the collar of a leather coat , a hatchie was hiding in a small ornamant on the window sill at a friends place 3 weeks later . Close escape routes to outside and dont give up . they often turn up weeks later . |

|  | Subscriber | Join Date: Feb-06 Location: Lakes Entrance Age/Gender: 28 | | | | first place to look is behind the enclosure
the amount of times i have ripped my house apart looking for a run away and then find the little so and so wrapped around the cord at the back of the enclosure lol
from there defiantly start looking upwards around curtain rods are fun for a snake also in the curtains them selves
you have a 75% chance of finding him i recon thats going from what i have seen from others and have experianced myself. Dont stress if you cant find it right away just keep your eyes peeled you will be amazed when and where you find it lol my last escapee took me 41/2 weeks to find |

Just took everything out of the walk in wardrobe and no sign of her. Now i just have to search upstairs!
