Ok. You are definitely doing everything correctly. But I am really disappointed for you because you have so carefully considered before you purchased…..

In the other thread you state that the breeder fed her successfully twice. This doesn’t equate to “known for being a good eater.” It is " showing promise."
You’ve offered twice. That’s not panic time, not haul her to the vet and stress her further for no purpose time. It’s calm down, leave her ALONE and try again in 5 days time. This can be the hardest part but it matters. Leave her ALONE.
I am really sorry that things are challenging. But take a step back, take a breath, give her space.

A LOT has happened since I last posted, good and bad.
The good part:
I moved her up to a bigger bin with fogged walls, a solid lid (with ventilation holes!) more clutter, and substrate for her to hide in and under, I was going to add pictures but they won’t upload right now, so I’ll add them later!
Now for the bad:
She managed to escape from her new paradise bin the night before feeding day, when I was asleep. She then must’ve climbed up the heatmat’s wire out of her secondary containment area, and squeezed through a gap in the secondary containment area’s lid, then wiggled through the blanket I had set up, down to the floor. I set up bottle traps with water and food (A frozen thawed pinky mouse, cut in half) to try and catch her. I dug through the substrate, checked every hide, nook, and cranny as well. I checked under the fridge, under the oven, under the couch, and basically every snake attractive spot.
The thing is that my house has 1001 ways to get outside or in the walls. I’ve had wild five-line skinks come crawling in and out of small gaps in walls before. What sucks even more is that she can live outside my house and be just fine because little skinks, frogs, and the occasional snake like to hide out outside my house. So now I’m hoping that she’s hunkered down in the house or basement and hasn’t gotten out.

Did you ever get her to eat for you?

No unfortunately, yesterday was supposed to be feeding day but because she escaped I wasn’t able to offer her anything.

You have really had some tough luck with this little stinker! From the way you describe your house and the fact that she has not eaten for you I believe the chances of finding her will be slim. But there is always a chance.

Here’s my usual advice regarding escapees:
Keep eyes and ears open after sunset and before sunrise. If you have free-roaming pets, watch what they’re doing and interested in at those times. Put crinkly bags and bottle traps baited with food and water along walls the snake is likely to travel.
Do one more check of everything, starting inside the tank and examining all decor and substrate. Then move your search outward from the tank. Good luck!

This is the gap she must’ve gotten through to escape, the rest of the tank has sheer glass walls taller than her, and this is the only spot with a climbable wire…
And the new enclosure:
I still wonder HOW she got out, I do have a small group of isopods in there though. It could’ve been possible that she died due to natural causes, and they ate her? I would’ve expected to see bones if that happened though.

I don’t think isopods could’ve eaten her that quickly. I would do a very exhaustive search of the decor and everything else in the enclosure. I would also be locking up that enclosure as if the snake is in there, just in case she is.

I’m sorry your snake escaped. I just caught up on the thread. Babies can squeeze through the darndest, tiniest cracks. If a wire fits, so does a baby corn. It’s possible that she may turn up yet. There are plenty of stories about people finding lost snakes weeks or months later. It even happened to me once. Hoping that it happens for you.
