I once had 10 babies(2 weeks old) get out while I was on vacation and my snake sitter didn't close the cages correctly.

took me about 5 days to get them all back but I found them. Hard to find something so small that doesn't make noise.

you could lay down flour in some areas so you can see if it passed that zone. I tried to close off all rooms and places I could so if it was in an area it had to stay there.

I found them in shoes, under the couch, in the kitchen.
I could see they had been on the bathroom counter cause things were knocked down. same when I found the book shelf one papers had been pushed on the floor for it to get up in there. The last one I found was near my bed I happened to hear it move some cardboard boxes I had there. So keep your eyes out for signs and if you hear anything go look.

I heard they usually hug the walls and don't stray tooo far from their cage.

keep us posted and good luck
