    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Please HELP!!! Lost Corn!

I woke up this morning and went to water my cornsnake and he was gone! :( I live in and apartment and he was in the back room. He's never escaped before, but must have gotten big enough to now! I can't find him anywhere! Any ideas on how to find him or attract him out so I can catch him? Please help!!!!
 
Look everywhere! In nooks and crannies, especially anywhere warm. Check sofas, cushions, boxes, anything your snake could hide in.

If you have no luck try a few traps. Corn snakes mostly move round at night, so try leaving something rustly out, like a plastic bag, around the edge of skirting boards etc. Another trick I've heard about is to put down flour to look for tracks the next morning so you can get an idea of where it is moving around.

Don't try putting down sticky tape to trap your snake, it can cause serious injury when you attempt to remove it!

Lastly you could try putting a warm (so the snake can smell it) dead mouse out in a hide on the floor to see if you can tempt your snake out that way.

Them's my suggestions (all heard from other more wise-type snake folks than me :) )

that's great news :)

If you're not sure how it got out you might want to check out your cage and make sure it can't happen again...just in case!

Anyway, great to hear you got it back.
