depending on were he is locateiding and how long ago he escaped i would say find all the hiding places that you would go to if you were a snake.
if he was kept in you room chances are he will still be there Only if he has been missing for a little bit though.
dont know if this has help but i hope it has
sorry to hear the bad news
good luck finding you baby

Regards,
Tys-mart

celeste don't panic , more than likely he will turn up . i would keep a warm spot for him . check under the fridge or any other spot it may be warm.don't sit on the lounge before checking '' ne may be underneath .just block any exit holes and wait. i have had 2 escape .1 i found the next day in the letterbox. glad the postman didn't see him . the second one hid for 24 hours search as i might i couldn't find her , but the next night she appeared . and that was a 8.5 ft coastal .
good luck barry

lay flour on the floor to see 'track marks' (can get messy though). leave a food item out for coaxing as well, and provide a warm cosy area that may appeal to your snake... goodluck and make sure you triple check the enclosure to see it's not hidind in an obscure place.

I was just gonna say that too, make sure you check the enclosure again. My childreni were so tricky when they were younger, I thought I lost them heaps of times, but they were under the water bowl or had dug really deep into their litter in the bottom, totally covering themselves. One time though, Mini did fully escape and i went into such a mad panick, I was hysterical, after 3 hours of searching and crying and searching, I lifted up something and there she was in a coil looking up at me, then I cried again with joy

Good luck...

go through the threads and find all the other ones on missing snakes and you will see alot of ways to try and fing it..
there was one only like a week ago..


and find where the little bugger go out and block it up..

try leaving food out and creating a warm spot somewhere in proximity to where you lost it

i just had a thought. u probably have done this anyway but have a really good look around ur chickens etc. i've read a ew posts somewhere that others have escaped and were eyeing off their fish. i don't know if it could get out to them that quick but it can't hurt looking i guess.

Unfortunately this is fairly common as suggested go through the old threads for ideas.
It would also be a good idea to post some pics of what you had him in so we can help you find how he escaped and how to fix it.
