Hello everyone! I'm in a bit of an unfortunate mishap. On Tuesday evening (17th) my ball python went missing! So this will make it the third day. To sum it up concisely, I left my juvenile ball python on my bed to have a brief conversation just outside my bedroom door (it was under 5 minutes) and came back to find my ball python missing! Usually when I leave her on my bed she chooses to go to a specific area behind my pillows but was not there. She has been missing twice before (I'm not a bad owner I just spoil her and always let her roam oops xD) but I usually find her fairly easily and quickly, one time she was in my drawer, the other she was relaxing in the open. She usually always goes to about 2 or 3 specific spots. So I don't really panic when I can't see her.

But this time I'm starting to worry. She has never been missing this long and I've searched through my whole apartment, it only has 2 bedrooms. I've checked shoeboxes, clothing drawers, regular drawers, kitchen cabinet/closet/drawers, bathrooms and nothing! I've even left her cage open overnight on the ground near two hopper mice in a small cardboard box with no top and still nothing! The AC stays around 78 degrees so I was hoping that'll make her come out but no luck with that either. Her feeding day was supposed to be yesterday so I expected she'd be out sniffing for food or warmth in her housing. I am running out of options! I'm close to giving up and just waiting it out and not searching as much on a daily but I am determined. Any other suggestions that might help?
