thank you so much for this post it is really helpful seeing as I am freaking out right now but have done what you said about the thermostat and have put a water dish and some pinkies down as well as turning the light on in his tank and seeing as I have already turned the house upside down I guess all I can do is wait with crossed fingers

Jee this is terrible. I had a scare this morning, as I know my corn has most of his fun during the night. I always fear to come down and he's escaped his viv. This morning I thought he'd done a fast one and then I discovered him hiding deep in substrate. Big deep breathe!

I have the vivx 24" vivarium and fear that he may get out. Although he is about 10 - 15" long and I have watched him try to squeeze through the glass. I only hope that he does not get lost or worse injured.

Can't wait until he's put more weight on...

I hope that all of you manage to find your corns and wish you the best of luck as I can understand your pain

These spine bars will fit the glass and make you feel a bit better about snakey getting between the glass

Has anyone thought of making a guide of things needed for vivs and precautions that should be made. As if I had never been on this forum my little pal, would be missing by now.

I was not aware that the vents where in the wrong way round and could be pushed through.
Also did not realise that they could squash through the glass panels.
Also info about bulb cages was useful and I have now removed and decided to use led's

May have already been done.

Any one had any luck recovering their lost snakes? Would be really nice to hear some success stories. Never give up!

My corn has escaped twice on me now! The first time I searched for hours not finding it and was really worried! The next morning I found it at the bottom of set of drawers! How it got in there I dont know! The second time it got to the top of my cupboard and sat behind all my books! Always remember to just keep the door shut in the room where your snake/snakes are and you have a better chance of finding them in the one room rather than the whole house!

I lost my snake for over a month......turned the house upside down several times to no avail. Then one night I heard a noise upstairs and there she was on the landing ! I did seek advice from a reptile keeper at a local zoo, he said don't worry it will turn up .......he was right !

Inca (my Anery) managed to escape her vivarium at some point on Friday when I was out at work. She was in her Viv which was locked completely when I left for work (about 7am)....come back home (6pm) to find Inca missing...it took nearly 3 hours of searching for her...and where did we find her...on top of the toilet cistern (thankfully not inside it). She had managed to escape through a hole in my wall where the heater pipes went lol!

Needless to say that I am now looking for a more secure lock for my Vivarium now lol.

Sorry I haven't commented earlier Julia. Your snake has shown just how brilliant at escape our corns are. I'm just glad that she didn't stray far, although I'm sure those 3 hrs felt like a lot longer!
