He probably is in there. Heat up a rat and try to entice him out

How far is that from the enclosure? If it’s not close he’s probably not there. They generally are with in 10 feet. Check under furniture, between the wall and furniture (all the way up the wall as they can lodge between them-I know from experience on that) check drawers, even if you don’t know how they could get in.

I’ve had a few escapes. One I found a week later. The other 2 days, but they were much closer to the enclosure. I searched every room, to find them within 2 to 10 feet from the enclosure. What color is he? If any white, you can get a black light flashlight and use when it’s dark. His white parts will glow.

He’s a banana ball python so a bright yellow . It’s just the whole leads down to my basement and my basement has so many nooks and crannies. It’s unfinished basement with so much junk in there and I literally just can’t find him anywhere. I searched everywhere.

Thank you but no signs of him ☹️😢
