    Look in warm spots. Look in cramped spots. Like het.pied said, normally they don't go further than 15 ft from their tub.

    Like Elise said...warm spots. Near heat vents, electronics, under the refridgerator, etc... If the tub is in your bedroom, check inside of shoes.

    Remember, these guys can climb. When my albino escaped, i found him in my dresser. The dresser stands over a foot off the floor. So he climbed the leg, when back behind the drawers and climbed into the top drawer, in between my t-shirts. :D Good luck.

    The Tub was in my bedroom. I have stopped looking and have the light off. I will check in a little while. Thank you for your help.

    Hope you find your baby.... If it makes you feel better both small pet shops in my itty bitty town have lost adult ball pythons from their enclosures in the last few months.... one was out long enough they kept track of it being alive by finding poo, and shed skin.....

    Good luck! When my female got out she ended up being crammed under the dresser that her tub was sitting on top of.
