thank you for the responses, sorry I'm quite panicked! he was in a few days before blue. I thought the same that he wouldn't wander far- but the only warmth near his tub is his bulb + uth, otherwise the nearest warmth would be the fridge way far in the kitchen. also, we would have been sleeping ~5 feet from his tub, I wonder if he would have gone toward us? but no snake in the bed from what I checked. Gosh I just fear so bad moving something and squashing him. I';ve had nightmares like that. please come out you little jerk!!!!

that doorway leads to our mess of a closet...stacked to the ceiling with junk. I really hope he didn't go in there. but I did pull out a bunch and check the floor and saw nothing
