i just found my baby bald python i thought had escaped 4 days ago in my truck and very cold and i have nothing

to feed the poor thing what should i do?
Answers:
I totally disagree with the girl above. Ball's are great starter snakes and i have found them to be very hardy snakes. Regadless of the difference in opinion. We do agree that feeding the snake is not the main concern now.
Correct whatever problem allowed him to escape and get him warm right away. Once you have secured his enclosure and warmed him for a day or two and he seems fine, then go buy the lucky snake a mouse..
Well, at least put it under a heat lamp until the morning, then get it some food, a.s.a.p.!
Make sure to get it warm and as soon as you can get to the pet store to get it something to eat. The baby should be ok until the morning.
Warm it up.
you got a cat?
Warm it up then worru about feeding it later but don't warm it up too fast. And it is BALL Python not Bald. If ti got too cold it may die anyway. but just warm it up and make sure it has water. 4 days can dehydrate it but it should be okay food wise they can go longer without. I had a ball that didn't, she wouldn't, eat for 5mos and was fine.
first of all, it is a BALL python, second, warm him up soon.dont you have a heat lamp for it? It needs one EVERYDAY if you cant take care of him right, give him to someone who can
1. It is a BALL PYTHON
2. Put it in your pocket until you can put it back in its ESCAPE PROOF CAGE. This is very important. You may not be lucky enough to find it next time.
3. Make sure it is drinking water before you try and feed it. Wait a few days to make sure it didn't get sick from being too cold. This won't kill the snake. If it tries to eat now it may just throw up and that is gross.
4. Please read a book and get a good snake vet. Ball Pythons don't make good "starter" snakes. Only people with experience should have them because they are so hard to raise. They are picky eaters and can be troublesome about the correct temperatures. Corn snakes, King snakes, Rat snakes all make good starter snakes.
Good luck and please for the snakes sake escape proof that cage.
