Uh Oh hehe - Aquarium Advice

About 3 weeks ago I borrowed the 15w light off the 10 gallon tank that has my Albino Kenyan Sand Boa in it. He stays under the sand most of the time so really didn't need it. Well I took his tank out yesterday to clean it and discovered that there is an opening behind the front where it lifts up for feeding etc and where the light sits and no snake.

Guess Spring cleaning is in order lol. I just hope he didn't find that hole in the wall.

Oh wow. When was the last time you saw him in the tank?

The week before that when I fed him lol. I feed him once a month. Normally I get him out once a week but we have been doing some landscaping on my 1/2 acre of land and so busy I just haven't taken the time this last month. Sure hope I find him. Have had him for about 6 years. He's a really cool snake.

I hope he's not outside assisting in the landscaping.

Good Luck!

Good luck finding him! At least it has been warm enough for him if he did get outside.

that just makes it harder to find him. otherwise you just go around looking in the warm spots of the house like behind the fridge. one time my ball python got out and i found him in the bottom drawer of my dresser. if it's really hot out just look in the cool dark places. or you could try baiting him. i once found a black rat snake that came into the basement and was on top of the tank that i kept the feeder mice in. my dad thought i was playing a joke on him until he saw it move.
Good luck finding him!!

Being a borrowing species, I'd be looking under tight spots. Rugs, molding, carpet, etc. They would normally burrow under sand and are comforted by the feeling of weight on them. I have one and it sleeps under it's water bowl. Good luck, I hope you find him. Please post some pics if you do. They really are nice snakes.
