Just had a hell of a shock, just found my son't snake. I was cleaning behind my cupboards in the bedroom and I saw him. He went for me and then scarpered off under the skirting board. I just text hubby to get me a pinky to lure him back out. I really can't believe he is still alive. I really thought he had died. Is there any other way to lure him before my hubby gets home?

Wow,I'm terrified of snakes lol

How long has he been missing for?

I'm not sure what snakes eat but could you try a small piece of fish or something heated up for about 15 seconds in the microwave?

I've heard they get attracted to heat?

ME SHELL · 20-05-2010, 05:13 PM

gonna put the heating on now.

I've defrosted a tiny amount of chicken and i'm sat on the floor hoping to see him come back out.
He's been missing since Christmas

It probably only went for you because it was scared or hungry if its been missing a long time.

its a corn snake.

no just defrosted a tiny bit of chicken just to see if it will come out. It is only a baby. It escaped 28th December and we've been looking for it ever since. I must admit I thought it had left the house and died. So chuffed, tho it give me a hell of a scare as I wasn't expecting to see him

Oh ME SHELL! I am soooo happy for you that he is alive and well!

By 'he went for me' do you mean he bit you? Hope it didn't hurt! Can they eat worms?

Mrs Frog · 20-05-2010, 05:29 PM

so pleased he is alive,hope you catch him

ME SHELL · 20-05-2010, 05:30 PM

He does look small, but its been so long since i saw him can't remember how long he was. Will definitely book him straight int he vets.

Thanks Courtney. He didn't bite me, just tried to warm me off, and I did jump as I wasn't expecting to see him, while i was cleaning

ME SHELL · 20-05-2010, 05:31 PM
