This time of year it's very likely that your corn snake may decide to hibernate in the wall for a "while", as in a few months. So don't give up...he may not come out again until it warms up & then he'll want food. I once had a 5'+ bull snake get loose in mid-November: I looked everywhere without success, but in mid-May, I was walking thru my kitchen one night & there she was on the floor! She had been hibernating all that time under the kitchen cupboards where she was well out of sight & out of my reach...she was just fine, hungry & thirsty, and she went on to live (& breed) for many years beyond that. I've never tried a snake trap like what is shown above but it couldn't hurt (just make sure the hole is slightly larger than your snake so she doesn't get stuck!). Snakes are superb at disappearing into holes (including into upholstered furniture and even down drains or toilets!), I really hope you get a second chance.
