Don't beat yourself up. Check systematically from one end to the other. I had 4ft long, 1000 gram Gypsy on the floor while I was cleaning out her viv and she ended up on the upper shelf of my printer table, wedged into a half-empty package of computer paper! Without making a sound. For peace of mind, check under the carpet. Is it a throw rug or wall to wall? What you don't want to do is have your checking create another hiding spot. Then, if you have a box, bin or two, start to clear out your room. Don't put anything into the box that you don't thoroughly check first. Take the box out when you leave so she doesn't relocate into it. You may have to empty he whole room. Is it your bedroom? If so, carefully remove your bedding a layer at a time, gently. Be sure to che k the be frame without shifting your box springs so if she is wedged along there you don't pinch her between the frame and the box spring. If your box spring is open anywhere, who could also be in the coils. Keep me posted. Lots of prayers to you.
