Go to any store.... get ant poison... and set it up along one of the walls of your house... (ants normally do most of their traveling against the walls)... but! the hardest thing about this is if you see an ant, don't squash it!!!! because the ant will carry the poison back o it's nest, or hive, or whatever you would like to call it, and spread it to the other ants.

How do you find a lost corn snake?
Boost up your heating, put some plastic bags around the floor and leave an apropriately sized mouse in the middle of the room!! My king is a bugger for playing houdini, but it seems to work every time!! Try to have a room lockdown especially if you have cats or dogs who would like to eat your snake!!!
some people put a sprinkling of flour over the floor to see if they get any tracks, i haven't tried this method myself as it sound messy, but I'm sure it would work.
look in all of the warm spots i.e. behind the fridge, the airing cupboard, tumble dryer, nice warm clothes anywhere that the mains is plugged in and left on all of the time will have a bit of extra heat...and watch out when you put the washing machine on snakes really don't like the spin cycle!
When/if you find your snake ensure they have access to plenty of water, perhaps even tube feed some (i see alot of renal failure in stray snakes here in the UK after they have been missing for a few months).
Once found, leave to warm up for a couple of days then feed small meals (smaller than usual) every 4 days to build up the metabolism. before going back to your normal routine.
Hope everyone finds their lost snake and that this helps xx AV
- I found mine last night, after losing him 5 months ago. We'd given up hope as to it being such a terrible winter, but last I spotted him coming out of the floor boards. He has one dull eye, where he may burnt himself against a pipe - but otherwise seems to be alright.
Just goes to show what little troopers they are.
Will cats bother a corn snake?
