Answer #1

I’d try this: turn on a space heater in the center of the snake cage room and turn on the air conditioner?

Answer #2

I’ve had this happen twice with tiny cornsnakes. We only found one of the ones that escaped, and the one we did find didn’t turn up until about 3 months from when it first disappeared. So I must prep you for disappointment. First, though, check the warmest places nearest to the cage. The one that we found came back out of a heat duct. Since reptiles are cold-blooded, they need heat from an external source. A trap might work, but only if the snake hasn’t eaten in a while, because a snake that size would only normally eat every 1 to 2 weeks. Maybe set a heat trap? We never tried that, but I suppose it’s a possibility. I really wish you the best of luck. I miss my snake soo much, and I only had him for a couple of weeks before he disappeared. Let me know if anything you try works!
