I have had this problem too. A baby Corn snake is going to be hard to find. One good thing is he might rid your house of lots of pesky critters. Dont panic, they can go quite sometime without food and water, but as suggested by others, look in the warmest places. Use a flashlight to see the refection of light off his scales and eyes. Hes going to hide in the warmest, snuggest, littlest, darkest, hole he can find. He probably did not go far from his cage, especially since hes a baby. Hes close by and if hes hungry you can tempt him daily. Get a plastic shoe box, with a tight lid, cut a small hole in the side, cover it with a towel so its dark. Place a warming rock inside, and a thawed pinkie. Some pet stores will sell liquid mouse sent, its used to entice picky eaters. Mostly you place it on a thawed mouse to get the snake intrested. The snake can pick up the pheramones through his tounge. If you cant find that take a thawed pinkie, and drag him around the area on the floor. Going behind and dressers, furniture around his cage. Make a little trail to the box. have the box next to a wall against the base boards. You dont want it out in the open, cause the last thing he wants to do is expose himself. if hes not in there one day, move the box to a diffrent position next to diffrent furniture you think hes behind. You'll catch him soon!!!

I presume you mean a baby corn snake. I hope you find it before your Mom does.. Why are you scared of it, it's non poisonous and it's your snake.
I would imagine it's somewhere that is very warm. Look in the heating vents, under the fridge, under the cooking stove, in the bathroom, under the kitchen sink. In the cushions of the furniture.
Good luck!

ok this might work, take the snakes food and leave a scent trail, before you go to bed (they are active at night and probably wont do much during the day) and lead the scent trail to a dark box or even her hide box and put the food in it and put a heating pad underneath it keep doing this until the snake is found in that warm spot with a full belly good luck i know your upset!!

I have had this happen to me a few times. Put a heat source on the floor at night and wait for it to come out. If this doesn't help then look around heating vents it will try to find someplace warm.

look all around the house and make sure all the windows and doors are close and try to find him and catch him with your hand just don't go out of the house. You can put food down to.
I wish you good luck.

look at any warm places in your house especially behind your refrigerator . my brothers was coiled around the coils because of the heat. Look anywhere you have a heat source . Last but not least have everyone check their bed tonight before going to sleep. Remember if frightened they will bite so please be carefull .I hope I helped.

Watch out so your green beans and peas and carrots don't get away also.
