Is he thin enough to fit into a bottle? Put some bottles out with fish in them, and cover them up so they’re good places to hide after he eats, so he won’t try too hard to find his way out. Fish are stinky enough that he ought to be able to notice them even from another room. You might have to change bait a few times, get yelled at a bit by other members of the household, and if you have a cat things are going to get pretty noisy, but bait traps do work quite often even with mice, and a dead fish is a lot easier to smell than a pinkie.

okay take a 2 litter bottle...cut the top out and turn it inside out so the nozzle is inside the bottle...this isnt a good way of finding them but it has worked for a few of my snakes rarely

Go check everything that is a tight dark place to hide...under couches...in drawers...under the fridge..etc.

My last snake that got loose was my kingsnake and we found him under the carpet

I would suggest giving him an electrolyte boost to help him recover from the dehydration damage. Get some Pedialyte, or even one of the cheap generic imitations. Any unflavored pediatric electrolyte formula will work fine. Mix that fifty/fifty with his water and it’ll help him pull through. The stuff is amazing. When my baby hognose was dehydrated she actually puffed up from 51 grams back to 54 just from sitting in a very shallow layer of it in a deli cup for 45 minutes. It works whether they soak in it or drink it, and if they drink it they’ll store more water than they might otherwise.
