So I just came back from a 3-day trip and went to change the water in the tank. Uh oh.. no snake. The lid was cracked a little, I don't think it was that way when I left? I've already done a quick search with no luck. This sucks because I have a 2 story house with tons of boxes and little places it could be.

What's the best way to search?? Is there any way to coax it out? I have a tank of mice a room or so away, do you think it would be camping out in that room or go towards the smell?

Any help is appriciated
