Since infra-red is how Ball Pythons sense heat, it sounds like a plan.

I just mentioned the IR ceramic “bulb” I have.

Time to try plugging that in.

Especially when he’s obviously a “special needs” snake.

[how can something smart enough to pick locks be too dumb to come home??]

That’s exactly what I’ve been saying to God.

If he can gather thousands of animals from all over the earth to get on the ark, one little snake should be a piece of cake for Him...:)

My Ibizans and Portuguese Podengo sniff the black snake’s trail beside the house with “hunting tails” going all the time and they’ve shown no interest in anything inside the house at all.

[maybe I could rent a muzzled Mongoose]

Good Luck on finding your Snake. A few years ago I might have said “A Snake?” but sense then I know loving pets come in many shapes and sizes. A few years back all my daughter wanted for Christmas was a Turtle. I found out how much time proper care of a Turtle would take, and knew a lot of it would fall on me. Well I actually have a lap turtle! He responds to his name and we can take him out in the yard and he let’s neighborhood kids pet him, no retreating into the shell. He’s about 5 years old now and I won him over with shrimp, I believe. He’s so friendly and trusting he would not survive in the wild. You’re doing the right thing with the mice, etc. One day Bob (turtles name) lodged himself under some
furniture and only some Xtra large shrimp would bring him out! Because he was a Christmas gift, each year we allow him to pick out a Christmas movie. We lay out the DVD’s on the floor and he always walks over to A Christmas Story! Probably the colors of the box but it cracks us up! Would your snake head to your car engine for warmth? I’ve always heard of snakes being found there. Is HE named after Alice Cooper? The only HE Alice I could think of! If so that’s funny! Good Luck!

Georgia is ground zero for a *lot* of high end exotic snake breeders.

Justin Kobylka, for one.

You just may find somebody’s escaped serpent, someday.

[best to prepare the wife, ahead of time]

:)

If you find black snakes or king snakes in your yard, *don’t* kill them.

They eat Copperheads and Rattlers with gusto.

I live in prime territory for both vipers and because we protect the black snakes, we’ve never seen either of them in the yard.

My neighbor, who does kill every snake he sees had a basement full of Copperhead hatchlings.

If only he’d let the good snakes be....

You cannot imagine my attic.

It’s like an archaeological dig up there.

Nearly 300 years of families stuffing their junk in the attic has it actually, literally stratified.

In the northeast corner are the eyeglasses and potion bottles from the 1700s.
A few feet to the south are the layers of the 1800s with old schoolwork and weird leather shoes.
A few feet more and you get into the early 1900s and then come the huge stacks of Jehovah Witness booklets.

The whole attic is like that, not to mention the treacherous spots where the floorboards are just suddenly “not there” and your foot disappears into the abyss of whatever waits between the creepy spaces.

And then there’s the *wasps*.

Angry, angry wasps.

Lots of them.

[and there might be bats...I dunno for sure because I avoid the place like the plague]

Poor pit bull.

I bet that BP strangled him soon after the photo was taken.

[but it sure made for a snazzy collar!]

You ask me a question "Why would you remark about the python strangling other people?"

And then when I answer you tell me to ""Stop it.

Geeeez!

I do hope that Salamander finds her pet snake.

Those were Burms who grow to 5 times the size of a Ball.

The first guy was a moron.

Rule #1 is “One person per 6 feet of snake”.
Rule #2 is don’t handle snakes while drunk as a skunk.

In the second case, the facts are incorrect.

The moron who had the albino Burm was keeping it in a *clothes basket* with a towel over it, not a secure enclosure.

His own family testified against him because he wasn’t able to afford to feed the snake and had offered him money to buy it food.

The snake was starving, its owner was a frigging idiot and the poor baby suffered for it.

I don’t know what happened to he guy but he should’ve been locked up for involuntary manslaughter, at *least*.

Ball Pythons are sissies who “defend themselves” by resorting to a quite useless tactic; they *ball up and hide their heads*.

That’s it.

No biting, no attacking, no strangling.

They just lay there and think that if they can’t see their attacker, it can’t see them.

Not a very bright strategy, IMO.

Your turtle picks your movies?

LOL

Offer him a copy of “Gamera” next Christmas and see if he picks that...:)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamera

I know people with house Tortoises who follow them *everywhere* like devoted dogs.

Nobody ~really~ knows *how* much is going on inside their heads.

I can’t see him getting out to where the cars are parked.

Too much open space to cross and they don’t like that at *all*.

Yes, he’s named after The Coop.

[it sure beat naming him “Monty”]

;)

Was that in the news?

I did see an article about a young teen killed by the family Burm.

Thanks for the prayers for small, harmless Alice.

:)

Oh, man, Sal. You poor thing. Fingers & toes crossed he gets hungry and finds his way out into the open.

Would it do any good to put some sort of heating pad out that might draw him to its warmth?

I definitely understand the affection we can have for unconventional pets. Yesterday we found our 6 year old male guinea fowl dead in his coop, his one remaining brother forlornly keeping watch. My husband is devastated over the bird’s demise.

Keep us informed when you find Alice.

This is him in his totality:

The background is a piece of black poster board.

He's not big enough to 'hurt' anybody.

His head is about the size of my thumb.

You got more guts than I have.

I don’t do “hots”.
