At least now you have confirmation that she's still inside the house didn't make it outside.


I wouldn't worry about the stool so much at this point, chances are she didn't ingest anything poisonous.


Sounds like she has a thing for the dishwasher - you might want to move the basking lamp close to her last known position in an attempt to get her to literally, "come to the light". Possibly have a dish of water and food near the same spot so if she does come to it, she can eat and drink.


A basking lamp right now, is your best friend. Tegus instinctively know they need to bask, so providing that constant lighting will eventually lead her right under it - but it may take some time for the simple fact that while she's hiding, she's also watching and listening for everything going on around her because she's in fight or flight/survival mode right now.


You'll get her back...Just be patient and a little crafty...and don't worry too much about her stool until you can get her back into a safe enclosure.


Good luck!
