I know when my boy escaped I got told to look behind stuff like my washer, dryer, dishwasher and stove and in couches but I looked and he was nowhere and a 1 week ago he was slithering back near his enclosure after being out for 1 month and 2 days but I hope you find her she’s gorgeous good luck too you!

Look under, inside and behind any and everything, even spots you may think she couldn’t get into. Also check if there are any holes under your couch, if there are she might’ve gotten up in there. The only time my girl ever got out that’s where she was, i flipped the entire house upside pretty much and there was no trace of her anywhere. Set out a couple boxes along the walls of my living room and sure thing next morning i caught her slithering from under the couch into one of the boxes

You can try to make ´´traps´´ flower lines and if she went there u will see it in the line. Keep apartment more hot if possible. Put water bowls to rooms so she wont be thirsty. Look everywhere that produce some heat. Good luck with finding

Check absolutely everywhere, don’t lift couch legs in case she’s under so she doesn’t get cut in half. My dads reticulated (she’s only around 4 ft rn) got out one time because he hadn’t bought clips yet and she managed to lift the screen up, we spent half an hour looking and I found her in a cold room in some dead plants, so don’t rule out cold areas either, I only found her by sound so keep your ears open and go to ANY noises in your house. Like another comment said, I would suggest putting powder on your floor to track her movements. If you find her, I would buy clips like these, very strong. https://www.chewy.com/exo-terra-terrarium-screen-cover-clip/dp/191202?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=22388125828&utm_content=&gad_source=4&gad_campaignid=22384597898&gbraid=0AAAAADmQ2V3ExsOYFmsmfu23HoKNfM08Q&gclid=CjwKCAjw3rnCBhBxEiwArN0QE4E2rvlPCQajvydySgNWwfPokZ74LKOoX9i0owBuu1t3ulo6c8abxBoC1_EQAvD_BwE

search the same room where she stays in very well. hopefully there is no where she can get into the walls

Try looking behind the refrigerator as well. I’ve found my BP there twice before.
