Escapees

[lampie]

Does anyone have advice or ways to catch a escaped snake outside?

Non venomous - Get gloves and grab it.
Venomous - Good luck

You should put those rubbers under your doors so there is not a gap under the door when it is closed. Keep your doors closed in the snake room-if you share the room with the snake same story-you kids are mos working your way up to venomous.....

Seeing as you stay in Johannesburg I guess you have walls? Do some herping in your garden. Other than than there is not much you can do. Ask the maid to tell you every time the a cat or dog barks in the yard. Tell your neighbours and give them an pic. You can lay down wood boards. Do it along the walls.

Listen out for alarm calls from birds.

Reynard it was my Angolan coral snake male
Does anyone know where I can look
I have spent about 9 hours in the last 2 days looking for him but nothing.The garden is full of sand I put out to see if he sails over it.Rock garden is upside down.I'm a complete idiot.

Best solution I can think of is giving me your parents number. That and being banned

Jeesh sorry but I believe if you keep venomous the reptiles must be in their "own" room that can be LOCKED and escape proof not only to keep them from escaping but also keeping nosy people out. If you don't have the space or can't afford a extra room just for them then you shouldn't keep them!

[Reynard]

[lampie]
