Please don't anyone misunderstand me, I'm not criticizing anyone's husbandry or anything, just pointing out a few things.
"...Once your snake gets hungry, he'll start looking for a snack."
The owner said this: "Worst and best part I guess is that he just ate yesterday, so I doubt hell move much,..."
The snake is most likely still hungry. Snakes that have eaten appropriate size meals do not try to escape within days of feeding.
I didn't want the owner to be thinking that the snake is most likely coiled up in the nearest, warmest spot, digesting it's meal. More likely than not it's on the hunt for more prey.
I would still search every dark, warm area because it may retreat to these areas between hunting. It's a good rule of thumb to assume they are near their cage but don't stop there.
I hope you find it. My son didn't secure the lid on his 4ft anery motley corn last year and it was loose in the house for over a week. I walked into the kitchen one day and saw it going under the stove. This was mid-summer in an non-air conditioned house.
Hang in there!
