I just realized I forgot to put information about how I found him for people in the future who need info about getting a snake out of their walls. I had been staying awake at night to try to catch him while he went out to get water. He must have come out last night after I had fallen asleep in a chair. I have 2 cats. One cat like to play with snakes to death, the other is extremely scared of snakes. Luckily, the mean one was outside. So he must have been following my snake until morning. When I woke up, there was a trail in the flour and some paw prints. I could hear my cat hissing. He was standing by the door to my parents' room. He wouldn't even get close to my snake. lol. My cute little snek was curled up on the floor, basking in the sunlight coming through the window. If anyone in the future needs information about getting a snake out of a wall, here's what worked for me:
Put flour on the floor to see if the snake left the hiding place and where it's going. I highly recommend keeping any cats or dogs locked up at night if you can. My cat never got close to my snake, but still scared him. Leave the snake's water dish near where the snake got into the wall. I decided not to use a trap because I didn't want my snake to get trapped in a bottle and be vulnerable to my cats. If you don't have cats or dogs, a trap might be fine. I don't know if it made a difference, but I turned up the temperature to 73 to prevent him from hibernating. He got into the walls on 2/21/18 at about noon. He got out of the walls on 2/27/18 some time after 1 am. He was in the walls for almost a week. He had eaten 2 days before he got into the walls, so he probably wasn't hungry until around the time he decided to come out.
Thanks everybody. You guys really helped me a lot. I hope my mistake can help somebody in the future.
