Look for tight, dark places. They like to squeeze in such places.
It is common that they climb behing wardrobes, pressing themselves against the wall.
Pay attention in the morning, when the sun comes from the window, it may be basking somewhere.
Once my prasinus went in a very small hole and was for like 3 days behind my wardrobe. In this case, it was left for a walk and I saw it entering there, so I just had to be patient because I knew where it was. Every few hours it would put the head out like that to be watching the world outside.
In this case, what I did was putting a cork tube just close to that opening and the monitor eventually went inside it.
It really sucks when it happens, and it's all our fault and it's ridiculous (and we don't want to admit that in public). But I guess everyone has been there...
You can try to put a heat pad somewhere in a dark corner with a Retes Stack on it.. You may find you ornate basking inside there some day.
Good luck and BUY A LOCK, now!
