    Help!! I lost my corn snake. I just got him 3 weeks ago and he is the friendliest thing. I keep those cage clips on the cage and everything. Two days ago he escaped and since he's only a baby he could fit anywhere! I know hes still alive because he went to the bathroom all over the rug :) . I've tried the baking soda trick and even putting food out. He probably didnt come to the food though since i just fed him before he left. Can someone give me ideas to help me find him ??

    look in dark areas. specifically ones that have some heat (such as under the refrigerator). if you have other pets, be sure to look at their behavior. don't leave doors open that go outside. hope you find your snake.

    Oh dear :/ I'm sorry you lost him... I have lost my corn Butters once when she was a baby, and my tarantula Boris once as well.
    Butters showed up on her own. A couple days after she went missing, she was curled calmly inside the shower. I was VERY lucky.
    Boris however was gone almost two weeks I think? No one would come in my room, haha. I eventually found her one day while I was vacuuming, terrified and huddled behind the garbage can in the corner of the room by my computer. I'm not sure if she was there the whole time or if the vacuum scared her out of some other hiding place...

    I'm sure you looked in every dark crevice you could think of, but maybe something got overlooked? I know I moved EVERY movable piece of furniture in the room and shone flashlights under the really big stuff... but I somehow overlooked the garbage can, probably thinking it to be too small and insignificant? I'm just saying, if you haven't already, do another one-over of your room, moving everything, even the small stuff. :) Hopefully he will turn up!

    Thanks. it's been a month and my other corn wiggles is very lonely without mango =/ but wiggles will live lol. I don't know where he could be though since i live in a townhouse so there isn't a lot of places where he could be. Well i heard you find them when you least expect it so hopefully i'll find the little guy slitherin' around one day.
