Question
i have an albino king snake about 82cm long and he has escaped from his cage am wondering if there is anyway of catching him

Answer
I have had limited success with placing a caged mouse around where I think the escapee might be in the evening and returning to check on the cage every 5-10 minutes.  Their sense of smell is very strong and when they get hungry they will find the mouse.  Make sure the mouse cage allows ventilation so that the smell can get out.  Good Luck!
