Rule number 1 - Don't panic. Easier said than done I know but so many corns have gone missing only to turn up a few days later. A few have left it several months before reappearing but they are very hardly creatures.
My Carmellia escaped just before Christmas. My fault, I had left her viv open after I had changed her water. I can only blame extreme tiredness from several nights of only 4 hours sleep. Anyway, she escaped just after we moved house and my bedroom looked like a furniture warehouse. I put down water bowls and sprinkled flour down particularly in my bedroom doorway in case she made her way onto the landing where it was only floorboards, no carpet. I tried a bottle trap as well but there was no sign of her. Then a couple of days later, i walked into my bedroom to see her climbing up the assault course of a pile of drawers stacked on top of each other. I felt so lucky that she made an appearance as there was no way I would have been able to find her in that bedroom.
Read the linky Lotabob posted and good luck. Keep the hope going that he will turn up at some point. Just make sure you check all washing before putting it in the washing machine and all bins before emptying them. |

| I've never lost my two luckily. From what i've heard they rarely leave the house they have escaped in, there are too many warm places to hid. Good luck, keep us posted on if you find him. |

I don't want to worry you, but I originally got my corn because it tried to get into someone's house, and he wasn't the snake's owner.
Although unlikely, it could possibly end up in one of your neighbours.
Years ago in England I had a corn that escaped and it turned up in my bed between the covers.
I hope he turns up soon. |
