    Easy now, killer. I don't think he meant it to be a smart assed comment.

    Now is the time for you to start tearing up the area near the tank to try to locate her. She's likely closer to the enclosure than you'd think.

    That wasn't a sarcastic comment--it was a question used to better understand what you're asking.

    If she escaped and you're looking for her, try warm, cramped tight spots. You can place a dark and heated hide on the floor and check back often.

    If you found her and are trying to stop her from escaping again, try clips, or heavy objects on the lid.
    Watch and wait; a hapless creature has wandered in wake of my growing hunger. My oh my, don't you look tasty?
    Hey traveler, what do you know of wolves?

    All that's scaly and reptilian, all that's furry and mammalian, all that swims in the sea, all that flies in the sky--I love each and every one of these precious creatures.

    Gotta think like a snake.

    Warm/dark/tight spaces.

    Maybe a photo of the room? It might help. We might see something you missed.

    Good luck.

    Just because you may think a place is too tight, or small, the snake may of still been able to get in.

    hi adam- i posted this answer a week ago-- just copied it here for you...
    Hi there-- first of all- i feel your pain. Have a snake escape can be the frustrating thing ever!
    when looking for him id just look in dark secluded places. Anywhere from the hamper to under a pile of clothes to inside baggage, closets, under appliances in kitchen, and (god forbid) in the venting. Ive had escapes twice. Once i found steve under the wine cooling fridge and the other time i found evita in a pice of baggage in a closet.
    at night iveread its good to cool the house down a little provide hotspots such as heat panels or even heating blankets near places you think your snake might hide. Ive heard of leaving flour or cornstarch on the floor near possible hiding places to track the snake thats especially hard to find. Cutegayjason (an awesome guy on youtube who breeds chondros and owns pretty much ever other kind of snake) said he once had to have a professional come in and tear up his heating duct-- the little guy was hiding in there.
    if you cant find him today... Relax, take a deep breath, and i hate to say it but--- wait--- until tonight. Ball pythons, as well as iot of other species of snakes are nocturnal and more active at night. Theres a good chance with a flashlight in tow you will find him more easily at night, hiding, roaming, or exploring.
    good luck-- ill keep my fingers crossed for you!
