**THE CORN SNAKE HAS BEEN LOCATED AND IS SAFELY BACK IN HER HOME**

Found out she was missing a few hours ago and have searched high and low for her. Anyone got any creative ideas for luring her out/finding her?

Edit: Taken some of the threads advice and put down several water dishes, warm hides and even a goddamn dish of milk in order to entice her out. I will update the thread if anything happens. Thank you for both the genuine & silly advice
Wish me luck

Check any nearby boxes that look cozy. When my old man corn snake escaped, he squiggled into a plastic storage tub that was right next to his tank and went to sleep. He looked real pleased with himself when we found him.

If no luck, defrost a rat or a mouse and put that in a storage tub/box in a dark-ish, quiet area you can easily monitor from afar. Should draw her right in.

I agree with everyone saying check the warm places. Do that first and if that doesn't work you're just going to have to dismantle your house room by room looking for it. How did it get out anyways. I have a boa constrictor and kids so I have to be sure that he never gets out. He is padlocked into his enclosure. Otherwise he might get out and accidentally hug someone to death in their sleep just looking for warmth.
 
Is it indoors or outdoors?

If she's indoors she'll come out eventually, probably when she's hungry or thirsty, so laying out some food or water might be a good idea. Would take a while though.
I've laid several water bowls around my house cap'n. I had one out in the room I lost her in originally but laying some in the others just in case is a good idea

They have wooden vivs and those vivs have vents in the back for the wiring/air flow. Somehow she managed to jostle one of those loose and get out through it. They do have locks on the front but I guess the back just wasn't secure enough for her. Boa's are fun, never had the pleasure of owning one
I'm sorry your pet is missing :'{ please update this when you find her.
Will do : )
 
Finally after at least 12hrs of search time I've found her, and no she wasn't near the bowl of milk lol.
She had gone to the absolute furthest place from heat she could find in the room and had coiled up in the very back of the bottom of an old desk draw that should've been unable to get into from the outside.
She's completely fine and healthy except for a few bent scales and sat in my arms for 20-30mins warming back up with a surprisingly thankful look on her face before being returned to her home.
Thank you once again for all of your help. Giving @/Brett Delawyer the solution as their story about their old corn snake is what gave me the idea to search there
