Had a nightmare today, came home from work to find my Children's Python has escaped. It's about 9 months old, and when it was a bit smaller, it used to squeeze through the gaps between it's cage doors (sliding doors). I plugged the gap with folded tissue, it was a very tight fit & seemed to work well. Obviously there was an issue with what I could plug a door with as I need to be able to open the doors. Anyway, at some point between 9pm last night and 5pm today she seems to have pushed the tissue out and escaped. I've stripped the room down to the floorboards, carpet up & everything, but no luck. The door to "her room" was closed, but I figure if she can squeeze through the doors in her cage, chances are she can squeeze under the door to the room.
Now, I've set up a clickclack on the floor with water and a hide in it, no lid, and put the heatlamp next to it to give it some warmth. I plan to leave all the doors open within the house. She hasn't eaten for 3 weeks either so hopefully she'll be getting hungry, could I use this to my advantage by leaving a mouse out or anything?
Does anyone have any ideas/tips? I'm getting a bit anxious and desperate now. Thanks guys.

I'm not sure how I managed to put a smiley face in the post title but I don't seem able to remove it. I am definitely not smiling about this!
