escaped!!!!

[rowan]

How far in a day would a escaped 20" corn snake travel? Sully got out at some point last night and I ripped my entire room apart trying to find him but no luck. I am quite worried because my house is not a safe place for a loose snake. I have a female degu that had babies three days and I am worried that if he gets in with them she will kill him. the degu cages are about 4' wide and are from floor to ceiling with a plastic wading pool at the bottom. the outsides are mesh big enough for him to get through, and they have many climbing branches and ledges in the cage. that particular mom(cayenne) is HUGE like the size of a squirrel, and really agressive, I had to seperate her from her mate cause she tried to kill him. there are also many other potential snake killers in my house, a loose rabbit, three cats, 2 ferrets, 2 huge dogs and of course my wussy boyfriend who would scream and throw like books or something from the safety of the counter.

What are the chances that he actually left the room he escaped, it is a fairly large and horribly cluttered bedroom with clothes and books and about a million snake hiding spots in it (none of which I found)
the degus are in the next room over, but everyone is pretty much loose most of the time everywhere!!


Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about catching him???
Thanks for listening to my really long rant!!!!
