i checked everywhere in my house, closets, shoes, beds, couches, sofas, anything on the floor, dressers, shelves, under everything, all rooms in the house, and near other tubs. She can't have gone outside the house, there's no hole that leads outside.

She escaped this this morning and I've been frantically trying to find her all day. Now I've tried placing her hides from her cage, hopefully she smells that it's familiar and she can feel safe in it and go in there. I'd place the heat mat but if I place it of the floor without anything she'll get burned if she gets on it. What else should I do?

I figured she has to be somewhere in my room, my door was closed before she escaped and I doubt she could fit under the doors gap. I checked the whole house regardless however. I've also placed towels under the door gaps so it'll trap her in if she is in my room.
You should get some tank locks or clips. I use ones like these, I have a rock on the lid just to be safe.
