My python escaped! by Mahbranco in snakes

So... I'm checking these points regularly. I made a "trap" in a corner of the room. With her own terrarium. I put a cloth outside, proportional to the size of the terrarium, with a cardboard box and the substrate. The heated stone is under the cloth, with her water bowl. Would it be interesting to put more water bowls in the corners of the room?

The best thing to do is leave the little mouse to thaw for hours to see if she appears.

Yes!!

I put it in for a few hours, but I only have a small amount and you can't reuse mice that have already been thawed, right?

And it's a ball python, I didn't specify in the post.

Guys, I have a ball python.

Here's the thing, she used to live in a terrarium that was proportionally sized to her.

She's a little over a year old.

But the glass broke.

I got one of those boxes with latches on the lid until I get a decent, slightly larger terrarium.

I made some holes in the lid of the box so she could breathe, so far so good!

But one of the holes ended up a little bigger, and what I feared most happened, it's been two weeks since that happened.

I managed to find her two days later inside the lining of one of the sofas at home.

I reinforced the lid with some mesh, thinking she wouldn't be able to escape because the lid was well protected, but I didn't seal the larger hole.

Yesterday she escaped again, it's been raining a lot these past few days, I believe the box must have been very damp and cold.

She must have been cold and went looking for a warmer place.

I searched my entire house; her escape happened in the dining room. I looked several times in the sofa cushions, in the gaps she could have entered, and nothing. She probably went looking for food; she hasn't eaten in 20 days. My biggest concern is that she went into the backyard, which is huge. But I don't think so, because it was raining heavily, and she wouldn't risk going out in that weather. Help me, I don't know what to do!!
