If he's being really tricky, at night before you go to bed or before you go out, (make sure there's no other loose animals around the house), sprinkle baby powder or cooking flour all over your floors (so you can see a trail that may lead to them, it can be vacuumed up), as well as lying plastic bags around (at night so you can her them), and putting a potential prey item somewhere near a heat source (like his open enclosure), in a cage that they can get into but not out once he has eaten (they usually can't resist such an easy feed). If you follow these simple steps i'm sure you will find your boa in no time:)

It will eventually seek heat and water. They can hide in the smallest places. Try searching at night with a flashlight--this is when they are most active. Look under bed box springs, under and in furniture, under boxes, along curtain rods, etc. Its amazing where even a big snake can hide. You might find it today or months from now! Don't give up.

I have red boa that is at least three feet and it lies dormant all year until I wear it on Halloween. I don't remember it ever seeking water though.

just be careful it does not get hurt. Our boa got out in winter and crawled up in the heater, which when it came on, fried him.
Sad but true.
I have heard snakes cannot go backward so he could not get out. We didn't even know he was out of his cage.

put a dead rat out for him/her and wait, check in warm places like heaters and heating ducks on top of refrigerator and stuff like that
