My female leo has escaped several times because I absentmindedly left her door open. Luckily for me she always heads under the bed as its the nearest dark shelter and both times I have found her sitting on top of my router, which gets nice and warm Very Happy

I lost one of my hatchlings last year and i found it in the dog bed Shocked

The best thing is to keep checking the dark warm areas like others have said, also if you put plastic bags down on the floor and stay downstairs at night with all the lights off, stay still you might just hear them rustle as he walks over them.

Good luck

Start at the corner nearest the door of the room and search EVERYTHING from the floor to the ceiling inch by inch going around the room until you get to the door again .
IE.. carefully take out every drawer and empty it by hand, do not just have a rumble through it ... empty it.
Anything with a hole big enough for the tip of your finger to get into must be taken carefully apart.
If no joy .... do it again more thoughly. Then start on the next nearest room Shocked

You could also sit on the floor in the dark after the light have been out for a few hours and start scanning the edges of the room with a torch.

Hiyas, i also lost a baby Gex last year and it ran under my huge ig Viv (this is built in and cannot be moved at all).
We looked for days and no luck then i had an idea to put a plastic tub with crix in on the floor in a corner low and behold 2 weeks later i caught it one night as it ran out and jumped at the cricket tub.
Just keep looking and try some food on floor.
