I lost a snake...

[tsolomon]

I would expect to find the snake in the back of a closet or some other dark place where it can hide. Corn snakes are nocturnal and the more you move around the less likely that it will come out. You need to create some hiding places for it to hide in and hope to get lucky. Piles of clothes or small boxes could work for a couple of nesting sites. You might want to put out a bowl of water that the snake can drink or bathe in. It sounds like a young snake, when did it last eat?
