I was told by a local breeder if one escapes to putsome kind of hide on a heat pad in a corner somewhere and take an apropriate sized rat and drag the rat along the base boards and place the rat close to the hide and heat pad (do this process everynight before bed) and the snake will adventually come across the smell because they'll tuck close to walls while wondering and the snake will hopefully go to the rat and eat it then enter the hide for some belly heat to digest...hope u find him and however you find him post a thread and let us know.
