I lost a snake...

[smokeyandthebandit05]

I lost a snake I JUST got. Its a small corn snake about a foot or so long. I put it in a tupperware container to feed it. I had it in there with a screen top and heavy thermometer not thinking it would get out. Well it did and now cant fine it ANYWHERE in my room. I took everything out of a basket of stuff, took out everything under my bed and dresser. Not there. I emptied my closet floor and found nothing. My dad knows but I havent told my mom yet but its fine cause she used to raise and keep snakes and that kinda stuff with a previous husband. My door was closed and I dont think it got out under it and the cats and dog havent found anything yet.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I would catch this thing? Right now I just have a heating pad on, on the floor. My brother suggested getting an infrared light and shining it on the pad. Ive looked around the internet to see what other people have done and they say try the stick mouse traps, putting flour or baby powder on the floor to see where they have been goin to.
