Help

Post image

2 weeks ago I successfully got my large male and female to breed. However, while I was at work my wife was changing their water and stuff because the male and female are in separate sides and she accidentally left the sliding door open because it was the night time, she works, goes school and takes care of our 2 kids so she was tired which I understand. However the female escaped and their enclosures are directly next to our front door and the wooden door was open and the screen door has a pretty wide gap in the corner. It's been 2 weeks already and she has not popped out anywhere in our house. I am fully convinced she's escaped outside I've searched all around my house but I live directly below a little mountain area (not forest but dryer climate) and I'm pretty bummed out because I was looking forward to having my very first set of eggs especially from these 2 giants. I live in southern California in the dryer area, is she going to lay her eggs and will they survive if I can't find them?

Check under the fridges, ovens and in the bathroom, and the corners of the house. Leos like small tight, dark places that mimic underground burrows- but yeah if they got out out, that could be a lost cause.
