Lost Rosy Boa

Question
My rosy boa got out of its home. Will it eventually come out to look for food or should I put some food out for it? I've look everywhere and can't find it. Should I worry? It's been about two weeks.

Hi Cointa
Normally a lost snake in the home (which I've had MANY!!! :-) ) is not a big deal as they will eventually "show up".  I will tell you a few tips to find him. The best time is in the early evening.  Keep the lights off in the house and grab a flashlite. Quietly make rounds in the area he escaped looking along the floor boards closest to the walls and under furniture. Do this nightly for a good week or so.  Use a mice as bait by laying it along where the floor and walls meet. Keep doing it every other day or two.  One last idea is to put some double-sided sticky tape along a few areas of the sideboards.  He will likely travel onto one and get "stuck" for you to find. All in all....be patient.  He most likely will show up when you least expect him.  I have had snakes disappear for over a month until they "reappeared".  Good luck and let me know if you find him!  :-)
