Back in February when I got my second sav, it would always find a way to escape its quarantine enclosure. Each new time I was sure there was no way it could possibly escape, I would come home to an empty cage. Here's what I tried.
1) Search any and all dark, tight, warm places near the enclosure. They like to be hidden. So, closets, laundry piles, hot water heaters, crevices near furniture and appliances, etc.
2) You can pour flour or baking soda across doorways so if your monitor passes through, tracks will lead you in the right direction. Found a loose garter snake in my friend's house weeks after it escaped this way.
3) Set up a Sterilite tub, with a small entry point cut into the side at the bottom. Add a heat source, a water source, and a live mouse in a kritter keeper. This got her every time she was missing for more than a few hours.
