Sometime between late Thursday and Friday night.
He last ate on Wednesday which means he’s getting hungry again.
[he’s on a 7 day schedule]

*However*, Ball Pythons can literally go for *months* without eating and often do for their own inexplicable reasons, with no harm to themselves.
[he’s a pig though and I can’t imagine him being very happy that supper’s not being stuck in his face right on schedule]

I have 13 other snakes and he’s not visiting any of them.

They’re all in their homes, alone, like good little serpents.

Even though their homes are all secured I checked anyway, just in case.

If he shows up, I will be so happy...and so mad at him!

I don’t know how you “ground” a snake but he’s going to be.

Snakes are a lot like cats.
They don’t have owners.
They have staff.

[and they’re just about as likely to come when you call]

But, but, but... Didn't you ever read the Sherlock Holmes "Adventure of the Speckled band?" The villain *called* the snake. It happened in a short story, so it *must* be true! :-D

Offering prayers and {{{hugs}}} for your loss. He found you once....he’ll *find* you again.....is my fondest hope....for you both.

When was the last time he ate? How long can he go without food/water?

Is he nocturnal? Hope you find each other tonight!
