Squiggles MIA - Page 2

Had to turn over alot of furniture in my old house looking for snakes. Finally started making my own aquarium lids out of wood and got rid of those flimsy petstore lids.

Sorry to hear Squiggles is MIA. Trinity, my prettiest red sided, decided to go walkabout too. I have no idea how or when she got out... Gaia wasn't talking!

Trinity escaped into my office, where there are books, papers, document tubes, file boxes, file cabinets, and all related sorts of clutter all over the room! I am keeping my eyes open, but not overly hopeful.

I do have a dish on the floor that has some rootings in it, which contains water. I keep hoping to surprise her drinking there.

SIGH!

Did you check the warm appliances? Do the flour or plastic bag tricks?

He'd better be ok, darn that Squiggles!

Hope you find Squiggles soon, Greg.

Greg, my children (who have been fascinated by Squiggles since he appeared on the forum) are quite dismayed by his disappearing act, and wish you lots of luck in finding the little turkey!

Trap has yielded no results so far

so I've put a fresh trap out tonight ... I gutted my living room (short of tearing up my carpets and dismantling the radiators) ... but there's no sign

... I'll keep trying ... fingers crossed.

My old garter snake escaped... 3 times.
Once he was lost for 3 days and I found him ontop of the fish tank, the next escape was a few days later into my grandma's room *LOL* and the last was down the hallway and into my backpack *LMAO*. XDDDD

CrazyHedgehog · 12-30-2007, 04:03 PM

This might sound stupid....but have you checked the tank again? no hollow ornaments in the tank? not lost in burrow heaven? no plants?
Many a time I thought I had lost a small snake (as well as the many times that I actuallly have) only to find it still in the tank hiding!

adamanteus · 12-30-2007, 04:06 PM

Good point, Inge! I lost my marcianus male for two days. I couldn't figure out how he could possible have escaped. Then he came sneaking out of the fluorescent light fitting when he thought I wasn't looking!

gregmonsta · 12-31-2007, 08:03 AM

I checked all the tank stuff repeatedly

... what makes me sure he got out is that Slithers keeps climbing up onto the background and has only been doing this since Squiggles' Houdini act .... it's as if Slithers is looking for Squiggles .... and the scent trail ends where Squiggles squeezed out next to the thermostat cable (which has since been tightened) .... I'm running off to get more bottles for bottle traps today ... still crossing my fingers ... thanks for all the suppurt guys.
