We've had Monti a year, and everything's been going wonderfully. About two weeks ago, my husband built a custom lid to her tank, and unfortunately, he didn't realize it had one loose piece. Apparently, Monti discovered sometime since yesterday.

We all sat and watched for for awhile yesterday evening, but at lunchtime today, we realized she was missing.

We have searched all afternoon and evening, so far to no avail. I've set up a heating pad/hide for her...as well as a rat to hopefully draw her out.

Her tank is downstairs in our home. Is it likely that she would have "climbed" the stairs? I know it's *possible,* and no one is a fortune-teller, but so far we've been focusing most of our searching downstairs. Do you think that's wise?

I hate that I don't know where she is.
