I'll bite, lol.

I had a yellow belly hatchling pop her lid and disappear on the 12th and I looked everywhere, turned everything inside out but no snake.

Fast forward 9 days...
I recently got a puppy and decided while the landlord was roaming the area, to pick up dog poo in the yard.
As I was weaving through the yard picking up the duties I scanned out in front of me and found the little snake curled up in the grass.
My snake room is in the back of the apartment, the snake was found over 100 feet from her tub.

Moral of story: Don't use pop top 6qt tubs for hatchlings
