I'll betchya anything he turns up. They usually do. I had an Everglades rat yearling (about 30" escape once and looked everywhere. Weeks later I found snake skat in one of my desk drawers. I found him squeezed between another desk and the wall about eight feet away. I had given up by then, but there he was.
Another time I had a hatchling corn snake escape. I'm talking delicup size. He was gone for three days. At that time I had breeder mice in an adjacent room, and when I checked on them three days after the escape, I noticed they were avoiding a certain hide area I had put in their cage. I looked closer. Bam! I saw a tongue undulating! I opened the cage and I couldn't believe my eyes. That sucker had eaten a small adult mouse. It couldn't even move, it was so fat! Well, he digested the mouse okay and never got out again. Don't give up. I know your house is huge, but I'll wager he didn't go very far. He's squeezed into a tight, secure-feeling place somewhere for sure.
