Well, on 11th November 2010 my King snake went missing, I basically pulled every room in the house apart, and didn't find her, after about 3 months of leaving pinkies out in warm places, and heat mats out and things to try attracting her out, I gave up hope and thought she must be dead by then, but after visiting the pet shop they told me she could easily still be alive, living off spiders and things.
Now last night, there was a very very strange scratching sound coming from my attic, could hear it as clear as anything, it sounded like a rat or mouse (wasn't aware we had them lol) but the scratching then became slower and slower than stopped.
Could it be that maybe the snake is still alive and was constricting it and thats the reason for the scratching slowing?
I know it's very very far fetched, but I'd really love to find her now, and after so many people have told me she could easily still be alive, it's made me wonder if it would be worth having another good search in the attic for her?
I'd also like the point at, that the houses warm water pipes run up my wall, and the scratching was in the corner were the water pipes go up into the loft at...
Does anyone think she could still be alive, or am I just clutching at straws here?

Yes she may very well be alive, theres no harm in looking up in the attic again.

Ours turned up just about 12 months after it went on holiday round the house.

I set up a trap, and about to have a look and see if I find 2 pinkies still, or a nice fat snake lol.
Or I'd be happy at missing pinkies then I know she's still alive and kicking.
Then come up with some way of catching her lol.
