The only thing that I would be worried about is if you have a cat or something like that. If it just got loose in your room it will climb up something or try to get to the windows. You could try to set up a basking spot, but he should turn up pretty quick, just look high and by windows. They won't hide like a snake will.

I would guess high up somewhere.
Try setting out a cup or bowl with her favorite food in it.
In the meantime make sure she cant climb on any basking lights so she doesn't get burned.

check behind the blinds. I stripped my room and my closet because the door was open when she learned how to open her reptarium. I searched for 3 days and I was so upset hat I yanked the blinds up to open the window to get some fresh air in and i see a very familure tail drop down...

lol don't worry, you'll find 'em

We have had a few "escapees" and have found them in as many places as you can name:

...sitting on the water line behind the toilet
...sitting on towel bars in the bathroom
...behind a door on the moulding
...under the easy-by chair on a cross support
...sitting on a book shelf
...on the blinds
...on the television cable
...on the fish tank lid
...on the lamp shade cross support

And the wildest ever... a stumptail sitting on the freezer door handle of a 3-door refridgerator..!!!!! We have NEVER figured that one out! We haven't lost one yet... for too long.

Best advice.... keep looking everywhere. Move things too - they might be behind them. Rudis are small, so examine every crevice and then go back and look again. Keep looking... she is worth it!

Good luck and keep us posted,
