As much as I'm aware of all the threads regarding this issue, I need to get some specific advice because I'm running out of options.

Last night, I went out for a few hours after handling Pandora, putting her back in her tank and ensuring (as always) that she couldn't get out. I come home and peek inside both her hides as I normally do just to see how she's doing and I don't see any sign of her. So I picked up the hides and she's not under either of them. 10 Gallon tank, no sign of struggle, no overturned lid and no snake. Needless to say, my boyfriend and I both start panicking and looking for her. I took everything out of my closet and thoroughly searched through it, moved all the furniture around in my room, opened drawers, overturned pillows and clothes, searched my bookshelf; nothing. The door was closed so there's no way she could have gotten out of the room but we searched the entire top floor of my house. I turned on the AC full blast all night and set out her heat pad covered with a towel, and her hide in the middle of my room. I also covered the ENTIRE top floor of my house in flour and waited. We checked on the rooms every couple of hours and there was NO sign of her slithering about. It's been 24 hours. We set a rat in a box in the middle of the room for the past 7 hours and she STILL hasn't come out. We checked all 3 floors of my house; very thoroughly. There's no way she should have been able to get out in the first place, not to mention she would have fallen once she got out of the tank because there's nothing for her to crawl down from.

Here's my real dilemma: my mother is deathly terrified of snakes. Our agreement was that as long as she doesn't see it or touch it, I'm allowed to keep it. The rents are in Barcelona until this Saturday. I NEED to find her before then. I cannot stress that enough.

I've done everything that's recommended to do in this situation. Nothing has worked to my advantage. I know sometimes these little buggers can go missing for weeks and months at a time. I don't have that time. I'm really hoping somebody can help me with some tips on how to find or lure her. As long as I know what floor or room she's on, I can tear it apart and hopefully get to her.
