HELP! My brothers corn snake escaped form its viv about a week ago. We have been franticly looking every where, we even completely turned over my brothers room so she is definitely not there. i was wondering if there was anyone that could help me with these questions? Would she be hiding in a hot or cold area? How long will she be able to go without food or water? How many people have lost their snakes and found them? She is about 3 1/2 ft long and nearly 2 years old. ANY INFO. WOULD BE GREATLY APPRICIATED :cry: title edited. no need for shouting and begging for replies, the snake has been missing for a week. Please save the caps and dire titles for true emergencies. C_3
RE: NEED REPLYS QUICK CORN SNAKE LOST! http://www.reptilerooms.com/index.php?name...pic&t=59437 Here there is good advice for finding lost snakes in this post.
RE: NEED REPLYS QUICK CORN SNAKE LOST! carolinacornsnakes.com has a good page on finding lost snakes good luck
RE: NEED REPLYS QUICK CORN SNAKE LOST! The snake will seek out a warm, dark place. They can go quite some time with out eating, and tons of people have lost their snakes and found them. The finding times have ranged from minutes to weeks and months. Good luck with your search. When I lost my guy I found him in about 2 hours in my Mom's closet.
RE: NEED REPLYS QUICK CORN SNAKE LOST! don't wurry about food, adult cornsnakes can last without a meal for atleast 2 months. try looking for him in all the weird places in the room you keep him, he's gonna be in a small space to hide and mostely warm. you'l also have more chance finding him near the ground because they rearly climb and they onley climb when their active. when my corn escaped i found one foot bellow its cage between some boxes and pots. good luck finding yours.
RE: NEED REPLYS QUICK CORN SNAKE LOST! how long can corn snakes last without food? i thought it was 6 months!
RE: NEED REPLYS QUICK CORN SNAKE LOST! An adult can go 2 months without food. Hey Eirlys_333 have you guys found you bro's corn snake yet?
RE: NEED REPLYS QUICK CORN SNAKE LOST! no, the snake has now been gone for over a month hopefully she will come out of her hiding place when she is looking for food.
RE: NEED REPLYS QUICK CORN SNAKE LOST! well don't give up yet, its cold outside so theirs a good chance she's still in the house
RE: sorry By a month it will be probably dried to something. Mine was when I found her 1 and a half months later. She was stuck behind a picture frame completely stuck to it. We had to peel her skin off the picture frame. And, uh ya, they can climb. She climbed up a either a vertical pole or a lampstring to get there. Good luck, don't lose hope just yet.
RE: sorry Just for future reference: I thought my corn got out last month. Took everything out of his tank, tore the entire house apart with no luck. Couple of days later, the kids saw him in the tank. Come to find out, one of his tank decorations had a tiny hole in it that he could get into and hide. I had to seal it up with putty.
RE: sorry yea, snakes are talented hiders. once i thought my snake was gone 2, i took everything out of the cage and he was in none of his hides or anything. then i started going through the substrate, i went through about everything and i found him underneath it in a corner. i mean, if they can hide so well in just a small cage just imagine how good they would be at hiding outdoors.
RE: sorry Oh god, if any of my snakes got out i would freak, i have cats too. Maybe try checking by heaters...
Re: sorry we would do this, but we have no clue where she is, she could be outside, under the floor boards... anywhere.
RE: sorry just to let you know...my snake has been lost since November...and I just found him today underneath the furnace (which I haven't managed to get him out of yet). So yes..they can last a LONG time without food, don't give up hope.
