Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

    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....

My one and only ribbon snake "Snape" ((the only snake I had)) got out of his cage and escaped. I looked EVERYWHERE, but I can't find him. I cried and cried and I'm actually still very upset. I can't get another snake anytime soon, I'm flat broke...I loved him so much...he was my friend.Now I'm just Snake-less. My parents didn't even comfort me or care about my continuous break-down crying. It hurts...It really does. TT____TT
 
Hey Brittany, sorry for the loss. I have lost a baby boa once, I looked everywhere for her and I could not find her, I figured she had escaped for good. Well 2 months later there she was sitting on top of my pet collosal rats cage. She was drooling away and hungry. I tore apart my home and the only place I think she was hiding was in the top cabinets in my kitchen.

I have had a friend lose a kingsnake only to find it in an old VCR under her bed. I have heard that is a common place snakes love to hide.

Keep looking, you may just find Snape sleeping under your mattress. :)
 
Hang in there Brittany. I have had snakes get loose and most often they turn up very near to where they "escaped". The other places to look are anyplace warm and tight. These guys do incredibly well at staying out on their own, even for months.

Maybe it will turn up in your parents' bed...

What happened to your recent Ball Python acquisition (http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71270)? You know, this one:

Why would you need to buy another...? Do a little herping outside.

...LOL :laugh:
 
BTW, Theres not to many snakes where I live...finding him was just luck. =(

AND YES, I still am getting my ball python...but it doesn't mean I'm going to forget about "Snape"
 
Oopsies!

I have lost Jake before to, that was scary! I read a ton of helpful tips on here though! Somewhere under maybe the Vet forum, or Cornsnake? I am not to sure? But I know I read them somewhere. He is most likely to be nearby. Everybody is right. Check all the places of your house where there is water or heat. I just get plain lucky because my heaters are on the ceiling, no floor heaters! Phew! Lay down a heating pad and try and draw him out, that or make a pop bottle trap!
 
LOL look at the date, as of right now, this isnt the most popular forum, so you may find 3 month old posts on the first page.
How do you make the pop bottle trap?
