A thermal camera won’t work because ‘ectothermic’ snakes assume the exact same temperature as whatever their surroundings are, unlike mammals which self regulate their temps.
Pest control couldn’t get into the walls or under the floors any better than I can.
He’s got to find his way out on his own.
I’m resigned to that, now.
God bless you for keeping us in your prayers.
I did get a couple of personal emails from some people on that website who said “I HATE snakes but will pray anyway”.
I’m not sure how to answer them.
I kinda suspect Alice wasn’t very “popular” on that prayer list.
Snakes have a pretty good sense of smell, right? They smell with that flicking tongue of theirs.
Is there something nice-smelling that will tempt Alice out of hiding?
You mentioned earlier that Alice couldn’t handle live mice. But I wonder if a live mouse might somehow be a better attraction with both motion, vibrations on the floor, and the heat?
I’m envisioning the mouse on a leash tied to a stick over the cardboard box. Although that never worked when I used to try catching rabbits when I was six!
Good luck in Alice’s return.
