You haven`t looked everywhere because you haven`t found her ..

At her size their first instinct is to hide especially when there's something larger moving around and she could fit just about any where. What room is she kept in and does she have access to other areas in the house?

Depending on when she got out and how long its been out she probably hasn't gone too far.

If so I would close all the doors in the house and go through the rooms one by one. Obviously starting where ever she's kept, then work your way out if need be.

Check all heat conducting places, like the refrigerator, stove, tv and around the washer and dryer. Eventually she will need to warm up and she'll try to find a place to do so.

If she had access to the kitchen or the bathroom I would check the floor cabinet base boards. There's usually openings under there that were never filled when the place was built and appliances put in.

Yep the first thing I was going to suggest would have been checking places like under/behind the fridge or the dryer. You could try putting the heat light somewhere else out where she could access it, it might help to lure her out. Is it possible to try leaving some sort of food out for it? The smell might attract her.. Good luck

Do you know anyone with a Jack Russel???

I have any number of dogs that would tell you right where she is ..

I like dicy`s mise in a string trick !!

While you are down there with the mise on a string make grunting sounds like a male Savannah and move your hips enticingly!

Place towels or something under the doors to try and keep her in what ever room or area of the house she may be in. You never know you might come out of a room and find it pushed out of the way a little.

To add to what dicy said you can turn off everything in the house (tv, radio or what ever) while looking so that you can hear when she's moving around or hissing. Which will let you know if you're close to where she is or not.
