He will probably remain in the same room as he is kept. They do not tend to travel far, and when you do find him (and you will) he'll be tucked along the edge of the wall somewhere. Corns do not often venture across open spaces.

We have lost 2 corns at different times. Each was found within 10 - 12 feet of their cage. One wasn't found until 3 weeks later, the other one was only missing a day and a night. But your idea about the toothpicks along the wall is a good one.

I'm sure you have searched the room, but keep searching again and again. Do it at night. Leave a dull light on (a red one if you have it, some say snakes don't see red lights - who knows, but try anything). Then check the edges of the room at different times of the night. That is when he is most likely to be roaming. You can also spread flour or corn starch in thin rows, then when he crosses it you can trace his direction from the trails he leaves. Good luck. I'm sure he'll be back. They can go a long time without food, but they will give themselves away sooner or later.
