My first snake got out of his tank one night and I looked everywhere! It was one room and I tore it apart. I couldn't find him anywhere, till this day I still have no idea where he was but 1 month later he woke me up by knocking something down and I was so happy. I don't understand how I didn't find him until a month later, he must of been hiding somewhere real good. All I'm sayin is check every possible place, I thought I did but I must have missed something obviously, and his was in that one little room the entire time. I wish you the best of luck!
