    Where do you live?
    Most qlders would recognise a carpet python. Even an olive python would prob just be seen as a tree or whip snake.
    if you live down south, and it is cold, he will prob just go into hybernation. But if he is only small, I dont like his chances against birds
    He is most likely still in your house tho.....
    GL, hope you find him

    Is there any chance it is just hiding in the house? I am semi rural and we get snakes. Would never kill one without identifying it first. Would prob call the reptile man to get it. Let's hope if someone finds it they do the same thing. It might also be good to report it missing and also let the immediate neighbors know.

    Definitely second the idea of letting the neighbours know, as well assuring them that he's harmless and to give you a call if they see him. Small snakes aren't likely to travel very far very quickly but unfortnately can get into all sorts of obscure hidey holes so could be difficult to find/catch.

    Hope you find him though!
