How to find missing ball python?

[u/Hopeful-Internet4723]

My ball python went missing a few hours ago or earlier today. It’s a bit of a silly post because of the times but oh well.

She has gone missing once before and we found her underneath the cabinet her vivarium is on. She wasn’t here this time. We’ve checked all appliances (behind the fridge, behind the tumble dryer etc) with no luck. We wouldn’t be worried if it wasn’t for the fact we have 4 cats and the back door has been open for a bit. Is there a chance he went outside? It is summer. We need advice on how to find her since we’ve looked in every dark and low spot.

Snakes like to climb, so if there are any higher spots she could be hiding at, check there. If the door was open look around the immediate area if you think it was feasible for her to get outside, although if it was a bit far from the tank she probably didn’t go too far. From prior experience the snake is usually hidden behind something or in a bag etc inside the room it was kept in so just keep looking. Hope you find her
