The exotic strange pentaquark states Theta+(1540) and Xi--/0(1860) have been observed by many
experiments since the first evidence in 2003. The BABAR experiment at the high luminosity e+ e-
storage ring PEP-II offers excellent opportunities for hadron spectroscopy and thus can
contribute to solve the problem wetherthose states exist.
The results of inclusive searches for the abovementioned two states in a dataset corresponding
to 123 fb-1 of integrated luminosity as well as searches for the decay Theta+(1540)->p K_S^0
in electro- and hadro-production in the material of the inner detector will be presented.
