dont worry, i lost my first python as well..second day i had him as well....
but..dont stress, at night is when you will be most likely to find him, because he'll be ont he move, if u scan around his enclosure at night u may find him, if that faisl u cans et up a few luring techniques involving rats...be inventive!!
ALSO: i remmeber being told when m guy escaped to look at all the skirting boards, and all corners of ur walls, and pretty much all tight high spaces...oh, and in the room he escaped in (if possible) turn of all main heat sources except the one in ur tank, and he may be unger the fridge keeping warm, or anything else thats constantly ona nd generating heat..
i hope this helps!!
i know how stressful it is

yeah he got out thursday night after i move him and lola to a newer bigger encloser. so its been just short of a week.
i have had a look around every night since but there has been no movement at all. and i think because its so cold he may have decided to hibernate

Try and put everything you have up to it's full temp like a fridge make it really cold so the outside is really hot.
just look everywhere.
oh and he may be behind your washing machine if you have 1

he could be any where believe me they can get into places you think they couldnt under stoves are a common call out check your grill as well .......under tv units ......in wardrobes.....washing machine .if hot water system is inside that could be a hidey hole to he is small so best if you look for scats around home .....check under your nose too even if youve checked a spot already keep doing it ..............hope u find him and he hasnt gone outside......as much as some peeps say capts wont survive in wild its a myth they can and do and vice versa ......cat attacks can be really nasty and often fatal so hope lil bundy dont meet your cat RBB

Try putting masking tape in balls against the wall, because snakes usually get somewhere along walls, but only use masking tape.

gas stoves can be pulled out a bit you will need a mate to help you ..take the kick plate off the front and look on the floor 1st (behind the kickplate)then work yourway up towards the grill if you cant see anything then tilt the stove towards you look behind it. you have a hard plate you can unscrew it take it off and see if bundy is there i have gotten a few gts and pythons out of stoves and even a eastern brown.....make sure before you do anything turn off electricity if it has a auto pilot starter and turn gas off........use your torch to see .......when it comes to the stoves just make sure you keep all the screws together and make account of where they came from ............its not hard its just awkard to get in there but if you got a mate helping you its easier.....RBB

Have you looked under your bed?
Behind your cupboards?
under your mattress

oh good luck! i do hope you find him, i had my first taste of what its like to lose one just last weekend. somehow i managed to leave both enclosures to my spotted and bredli open on sat night. woke up sunday to find them gone, i was terrified! in an absolute mess trying to find them. but i was very lucky, i just thought where i would have headed if i were them, found one in my nice warm laudry closet and the other curled up on my laptop never letting that happen EVER again. good luck good luck good luck!
