i have checked EVERYWHERE that's dark and warm. i have turned the apartment upside down looking for her, and sat there waiting for her to show up. 4-5 days and still nothing. there really isn't much left i can do. tonight i am going to leave a heat lamp and a hide with a water bowl close by out and see if maybe the next morning i find her inside of it. i just have a bad gut feeling that she got somewhere that she can't get out and i can't get too (i.e. outside or in between the floors etc) and i wont ever be able to find her. i don't know why i have this feeling, but after doing all i have done with absolutely no luck or trace of her it seems most logical.

i just want to thank all of you for remaining optimistic and giving me all of these good tips and tricks. if she turns up or if i find her i will for sure update this thread letting you all know.

thanks again
