Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Lost ball python
My apartment is undergoing some minor woodwork this week the guys ripped out the baseboards in my hallway. One small area where the baseboards were removed now has a 2 inch high gap into the main structural part of my building where the old studs are and the area between the roof of the neighbors below and my floor and the plaster walls and floors of my neighbor next door - its a big building with lots of space for a snake to explore. You can see where this is going...I cleaned on Saturday and inadvertently left one of my sliding glass doors open a bit and the snake got out. She is 6 years old and 2200 grams, thankfully not pregnant this year.
For anyone who is going to use this as an opprtunity to harangue me over my stupid lapse of thoroughness, please dont; I have kept snakes for 35 years now and this is my first escape and I feel bad enough about this - what I need are smart suggestions, not a beating.
I have ripped the rest of my home apart and as this woodwork created dust, I can literally see a track where the snake exited into this hole. I know she is inside this very large 8 unit building. As the renovations continue, I will leave a space for her but this is a big building and I cannot be sure coming back out will be of interest to her or even a place she can find her way back to. Please dont suggest ripping out all the walls and floors - this is a 12,000 square foot building.
Thank you in advance for any useful suggestions.

Im no expert but maybe try setting up bait, like some live rats, somehow tie them down and let the snake come get them?
Just my first thought.

You already asked this question www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69036 I think SableLynx gave you some good ideas. I don't think the snake will go any where but that building, (being the size) Every so often walk the permiter of the building, she might be sunning herself. Well best of luck.
