HELP! escaped ball python

[Chocolate Muffin's]

Hey all! So I think I didn't completely secure my cage clips for my male 3.5 foot 2-3 year old ball python. Now I can't find him. Can you guys help me with some techniques?

I have read that BP's are notorious escape artists and that you should look in sofa cushions, and damp warm places like behind appliances, in bathrooms etc. I also was told that if you take the sent of a rodent and run it along the baseboards of your home, that the animal will pick up the scent They are night creatures, so searching at night might be more effective as well.

Good Luck
