I went to feed my black milk snake today and she’s absolutely not in her tank she just shed 2 days ago that’s the last time I saw her, I have scoured the house and can’t find her anywhere, my biggest concern is that I have 2 cats and I’m barely ever home besides weekends is there very common places they go? What’s the first most common places to look? Is there a way I can setup a “trap” or way to lure her into a certain area? Like a heater in a bathroom with one of her dead mice? I feel like I’ll never see her again in this house or she’ll starve and I’m freaking out

I’m on the path to joining the pipefitters union but I’m starting to question the decision, I’m not a kid fresh out of high school living with parents- I have bills and depend on my job to live and will be taking a pay cut during my first few years as an apprentice.. I know there’s a very very high chance of a lay off going into the union, how will I get by on a lay off when making apprentice wages doesn’t really pay enough to save up for that time to come and not knowing how long it will last?? I don’t want to drown once I do get laid off and don’t want to gamble with my life every time a job ends
