Has anyone seen a 6' gopher snake?

Recommended Posts

I have a waterbed, so the boxspring is out. I've looked under the couches, dressers, 'fridge.

Afraid to open the recliners on the couch, I might smuush her. :(

I'll take out the dresser drawers and look. Oooh she's in so much trouble. :ph34r:

Wait, you have a loose snake in your house??



It's just a snake. And I'm worried about her. :(
Well, she's not just a snake. She's my baby.

I even took apart the vacuum cleaner to see if she was in there.

my dad tells a story of when he was in the army and one of the guys in the co. had a son with a pet snake that had got loose in their trailer they had been trying to recapture it for weeks:D and they couldn't catch it. they asked one guy in the co. who they knew was deathly afraid of snakes what he would do in that situation. with a total deadpan he says.......well I'd get me 5 gal. of gas pour it all over the outside of the trailer and set it on fire!:D

i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am .

I'm not afraid of ( non poisonous) snake myself just thought it was a funny story. just last month I was going out for a day of fishing with a guide in clewiston fla. and it was cool that morn. and as the guide was getting the truck ready a snake tried to climb in the truck. thw fishing guide screamed like a little girl and slammed the door on this snakes head and was freaking out. the snake was pinned in the door and wrapped around the step bar. the guide was gonna get a knife and kill the snake it was about a 3 foot garder? ribbon snake? anyway I was like hey man it's cooll he's not poisonous snake I'll just unwrap him and grab him where he disapears into the door and you open it up. i let him go down by the water.

It probably has brain damage now. Well, probably dead. Glad you let it go. :)

it was just trapped in the door. I could tell by feel and the way it was moving it didn't have any broken bones. I'd be highly suprised if it didn't survive with nothing more than a " no shit there I was thought I was gonna die" story to tell it's buddies:P:P

Waterbed?? Hmm...:ph34r:
Keep an eye out for tiny goggles and a really short snorkel; she may be on vacation.;)

And if the cat's sandbox is nearby, it would be a beach holiday! :D:D

Seriously, I hope you find her soon. Snakes are great pets. Good luck!

From my previous waterbeds, Look near the wall under the headboard where the bottom frame doesn't meet the wall. If there is no "blocker panel" in there between the two pieces she could be between the bottom support frame and the frame the mattress actually sits in. They can get into and behind almost anything good luck in the search. I'm sure she'll show up. She's bound to get hungry sometime.

Please let us know when you find her! You now have half of the country nervously awaiting the successful outcome of your scaly search...

Maybe leave some of her favorite food out in the open in the room for her tonight; quite possible that she will come out for a snack. (Might mean you need to keep one eye open all night, but I somehow think you are going to do that anyway...)

I watch for her constantly so I don't step on her.

Oh, and I'm not leaving her favorite food out, which are mice. :P:D

Yeah, but I bet your cats would like it if you left the mice out:D:D

My sister's husband had a ball python that got loose occaisionally. One time they found it on top of the living room curtain rod. They couldn't see it from the inside, they noticed it when they were coming up to the house from the sidewalk:D
