you need to go over her tank inch by inch.....

i had a hatchling jungle in a plastic exo terra faunarium,they have little plastic spars along the top of the sides,used as ventilation,one of the spars was broken at the bottom,but to look at appeared in tact,sneaky jungle was pushing the bottom of the spar out at night,so he could escape

check the vents as well mate

also check where the glass sliding doors sit in their runners,could she be sliding out between the doors where they meet in the middle of the tank ?

night time is a good time to find them,sit quietly in the dark,do 1 room per hour or two,LISTEN for noise,they make quite a racket,plodding about the house

i hope you find her mate

cheers shaun

I found Houdini today after nearly 5 weeks on the run. She was inside an old folded up tent in my basement. I was doing some cleaning and found her by accident really. She was super cold though and looked thinner. She also seemed to develop head wobble similar to neuro in jags. Not sure if this will go away or not as she didn't have it before the escape.

Great news you found her. Hopefully the head wobble is nothing serious and she is ok for you
