Once one of my adult pueblan milks escaped when I was servicing the cage. It just unexpectedly launched itself out of the cage and disappeared under a heavy, stationary shelving unit and I could not get at it. The next day I found it in my rodent room. It had squeezed between the wire bars of the lid of a lab rodent cage. It ate at least 5 adult mice, killed several others, and left a few panic-stricken live ones cowering in the corner of the cage. The tail of the last mouse was still hanging out of his mouth. He was stuffed to the gills and couldn't move. Having a rodent room next to the snake room is a snake magnet and when they escape, make a beeline for it and are never missing for very long. Try putting a cage with a live mouse in a warm dark area near where it escaped and see what happens.
