    Look for the to tiniest spots you can find. Babies are tiny so they have the advantage of getting in places the mom won't be.

    When I lost mine I figured out some tricks that i gave a go. You can go to a grocery store and get lots plastic bags and spread them out on the floor right before you go to bed and you can listen for crinkling noises. Also baby powder can tell you which way they went. If its carpet you can line up pennies to do the same thing. When i started getting desperate i posted an ad on craigslist wanting a smelling dog. Well i got a reply. The man said his dog "points" and that there wasnt any danger of it hurting my snake (he was actually worried about my bp hurting his dog lol) Anyways when he came over he found the snake in about 45 seconds on the top shelf of my bookshelf. (which is why my tricks didnt work)
    I hope you find them!

    I found mine under the fridge on the 2nd day of missing. Also can use scotch tape, place it upside down/sticky side up in streams in every hallway or dooway 4 streams deep and make them long. If your snake hits em they will drag them to the direction they went ( if it falls off) or wherever the snake hides you might see a stream of tape hanging out. Also tape should make some noise if not attach a plastic bag to the ends to make noise and keep your lights off and ears open! The tape shouldnt harm them but anything stronger might. Sticky rat traps might hurt the snake if it freaks out so dont use that. Also most importantly do not take the trash out! They might get into something you throw aWay or even the trash bag itself!

    Gl finding them keep hope!!!
