The Washington DC snakes are known to be good to getting lost and even the people who have experience as snake owners may find that they have lost their snake from time to time. When you are in such situation, the first rule is to be calm and the primary thing to do is to search for it but not to panic. You should start the search near a cage and then go from there and since the snake may end up from any place, you have to be careful to know where to look for it. You should look in under or behind the furniture or behind the baseboards. You can look inside a cabinet, bookcases, dressers, shelves and drawers. You can look into the shoes or boots, inside the computer, near or in the heating ducts; you should then remove the cushions away of the chair and couches. The list has to be longer but you have to be clear.



You can also put the tank of the Washington DC snake into a middle of a room and add the food that you know that it likes most. You may find it inside on the next day. When the snake enters, it will remember its home. Whatever the wild animal any of us get entered to home, we need to get it out in short span of time. This is not something to worry about. There are lots of ways that can help us getting this done in proper way. You can add the foil, sticky tape or crinkly plastic around with the sticky side up over the room and between the doorways and along the walls or other hiding places. This is going to help to hear when the District of Columbia snake moves around and sometime you have to be quiet for some hours to listen.

You can use the floor around the thresholds or other places where you think that a Washington DC snake may be travelling. This is going to help you in tracking the movements of the snake. You have to focus on the area where the flour seems disturbed. If you have a web cam, you can use it to record the motion and you can see where the snake is. You can also leave the foods that the snake likes near it so that it can smell it. However, this may not help when the District of Columbia snake has just fed. To find a lost snake will require dedication and patience.
