I am soooo glad that you found your little girl! I remember when my male normal escaped on me twice. I was just devastated and thought I would never see him again. He used to be in tank and had figured out how to push up on the lid just enough to be able to escape. I have not had this problem with escapes since I switched over to a rack system with tubs. Both times that he escaped I found him in the exact same spot, in the base board heating in my bathroom. I was lucky that it was in the summer time and that I was not running my heat.
