    A few warnings though: If you don't find it within a few hours, make sure you bump up the heat on the rest of your collection so they don't get too chilled. Also, if it takes longer than a day, you run the risk of having the escaped bp get sick from the cold.

    I've also left rats out to thaw throughout the day and the scent has drawn them out too.
    That's a fantastic idea. Also, you could heat up a f/t and place it in the hot hide and perhaps drag the wet f/t along the carpet towards the hide in several directions. The prey smell + heat should be enough to attract any snake, I'm sure. I hope that you find her soon, it sucks to have escapees
