    Just keep looking everywhere for him. Look in the lowest darkest places you can find. Also Never leave a snakes cage open and leave the room and expect him to be there when you return. It hardly ever works out well.

    Before I had a rack I ferret proofed the room with my snakes in it. To the point that I even had barriers under the door to prevent them getting out. Which was perfect the 3 times my BP get out and the time some girl dropped my rat

    Check everyone. Mine got out once and he was wedged between the wall and floor of basement.
    Any places that are warm around the area. Crawl on floor to see any possible exit points. Check under stuff. Try thawing out mouse n leaving it in room to entice hunger. Also close off any other rooms if you can assume hes not there.

    Re: Jax got away.....

    Can you turn the AC on and put a small heat source in the middle of a room? Try putting the AC on like 60 or 65 and freeze him out?
