It's always such a relief when you find an escapee, and they are okay. I had a really close call once. My male Abbott's Okeetee somehow escaped out of his feeding container on feeding day and was missing for a couple of weeks. We thought we had looked everywhere. One day I was doing the dishes and was just about to run the garbage disposal, when a saw a flash of movement in the sink drain. I looked down inside, and there was my okeetee. He was totally fine, but I had been about one second away from chopping him up in there. I'm SO glad I noticed him.... and now that is one of the first places I look if any of them get out.

Wow! Nice save.
One time, I was feeding my snake in his feeding box. and that box is pretty tall and I was sure he couldent get out. So I fed him and he was done, I put a hide inside the box so he could rest for a while. Turns out he used the hide as a boost to get out. when I came back and didnt see him, I turned cold and my heart started pounding. I lifted the box (that was on my bed) and the little guy was all cozy curled up on my bed. He looked at me like he was saying "awww...c'mon! I was taking a nap!". Such a close call for me...

I had a similar thing happen to me!
I also had this one escapee... She was a fluorescent (the sister to the female we bred this year). She got out of her cage sometime during the night last October (2009) in our snake room (a built on attachment room to the house), and she was GONE. We hunted but never found her...
In March of this year, we were setting up an area for a garden in our patio, in the backyard, at the opposite end of the house, when we see a flash of neon orange... it was the missing fluorescent! She had been out for 6 months, and made her way out of the snake room, through the backyard, past 3 labradors, and into the patio. She had dug little snake dens all over the garden area.
Well... two weeks and 2 feedings later, she escapes again!
I am still looking for that girl... Dunno where she went, but I half-expect to see her outside every time I go outside.

Our big girl got forgotten in her feeding tub yesterday...luckily she turned up this morning under the snake shelf, but not until after I had scattered flour all over the carpets. X|
OP- We just about had to deconstruct my sister's car last week after her cat decided to wedge her fat tush under the driver's seat. About 30 minutes in the 100* garage later, we got her out. But at least we could see where she was hiding!
My friend's little escapee was missing for 3 weeks and assumed gone for good when the little amel decided to dangle out of the ceiling vent over the hapless roommate as she brushed her hair...Silly girl was a bit traumatized and insisted on exiting her bedroom through the window instead of walking by the vicious baby corn snake again.
