Search for missing snake or lost snake at the top of the forum mate.
There are loads of threads on this.
Try not to panic, they often turn up un-harmed, sometimes weeks later.

...tape of any sort is a big no no with snakes.. especially if its on the floor and they panic..it could potentially cause loads and loads of damage..sometimes so severe that the snake dies, and im sure you dont want that!!
best things to do are;
* put a heatmat with a towel or something on top of it on the floor..that way they have somewhere warm to hide thats dark and cosy..then you just have to gently check it in the morning,
* make bottle traps - http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=1759
*put flour or a sprinkling of talcum powder or tin foil across doorways or along skirting boards so you can see/hear where he has been/is 
*search carefully everywhere starting near the viv/faun and then moving away from it, corns will head for somewhere warm so check anywhere giving off any heat - plug sockets ect
*search high and low - corns are good climbers if given the chance to climb so they will often head higher rather than lower..
dont panic!! |

I think the point is now put across about the opinion of Fernandos sellotape idea.
No more bandwagoners please.

| Good luck finding snakey, Ive discovered Dez can open his viv doors and caught him making a bid for freedom, so even when you think they are secure it seems they will find a way to prove you wrong. Hope this isnt classed a bandwagoning but in fernandos defence the tape trap is a recommended method in an edition of PRK(not that I would ever use it) |

| Good luck Bunny. Hope he turns up soon. From what I have read on here snakes seem to vanish quite regularly and have been found anywhere from a few hours to a few months later. The only thing I will say is be careful when hoovering and make sure you check your washing carefully before putting it in the wash. I think I would even check coat pockets etc before going out in case he managed to curl up in there. |

Any sign of your snake Bunny? Have been away so am coming into this quite late (and am not sure what I have missed by the looks of things!!!)
Most important point that needs reiterating is the need for water...snakes can go for ages without food but dehydrate very quickly, so you must put water bowls down in a few rooms so he has access to something to drink.
I know most of this has been mentioned already...but it is a good link to read just to make sure you have tried everything - http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6966
I do hope you find him soon.
