How to tell if I have a cannibal or an escapee?

T.e.vagrans are notorious for cannibalism. The large female I have was given to me because she ate her previous mate. We have a few members on here with first hand experience of cannibalism with this sub-species.

I guess I won't have to feed her for a bit then

it's possible the wandering at the other snake...they definitely have been known to eat other reptiles. also, snakes are master escape artists....doesn't take a very big opening for one to escape....I have personally seen a 6 ft long red tail boa squeeze out of a stainless steel cat cage door with the widest gap in the door being only 1 1/2 inches wide!!

I don't know, it was locked down so well and she was decent sized. I have never had a reptile escape short of a lizard jumping out of my hand and hiding under a shoe. Still no signs of the snake though so =/ bullsnake tries to get out all the time from the same tub and nothing from her yet so :P I'm hoping she just got eaten lol

You could always take her to a vet and see if they'll x-ray her just for fun. If it's only been a couple days - especially if she still seems plump - you'd probably still see a second snake's worth of bones in there!
