Start with looking near the tank, small warm spaces, then slowly expand your radius, be thorough and be vigilant. I hope you find her quick.

If you've already checked everywhere you think a snake could go and haven't found her yet then maybe baiting will work. I've heard of using a rat (or whatever your snake eats) to lure it out to come eat. If you can't stay and watch the whole time you can put the rat in something like a minnow trap (assuming the snake fits in the hole, seeing as she's a corn snake she probably would). Put the trap near her enclosure and against a wall as snakes usually follow the walls while they explore. Hopefully the smell of her prey will entice her to come out and eat or at least come out of hiding to be put back in her enclosure. Good luck on finding your cute little girl, I'd die if my snake got out so I can imagine the panic and fear you must be feeling.

I had snakes escaped about 4 times (All my fault, I underestimated how quickly they can get out from anything). I found them all within the same day by checking around the enclosure they were in, then spread out little by little. If you have stuff laying around, gently remove them piece by piece from top to bottom. They like to hide so clutter attracts them. They also like somewhere warm. For an active colubrid like yours, I would check every room in your home. Not too fast and throwing heavy items on the floor to spook it to run from you (Which you may or may not see) and go into hiding again.
I would keep your cat away from the area you are looking. If your cat is anything like my 3 troublemakers, he or she will find it with its claws before you will.

Glad you found her & she's OK (I assume?). You got lucky, finding her so fast & without injury...prevention is way better than playing "hide & seek" with
snakes, they're way too good at it!

So glad you found her before your furry pets did. That must be such a relief finding her.
