She got loose

Question
I have a 3 month old Spotted Python who recently got loose.. My room is in a basement and is very large and cluttered in somplaces. Do you have any suggestions on how to catch her before she becomes dog food?

Answer
Well, your best bet is to look in any tight, warm spots she may have slithered into.  Those will feel the most secure and comfortable to her and once she finds one, there is a good chance she will stay put until she gets hungry and goes looking for food.  At that point, with any luck, you will be able to easily spot her wandering about, hopefully before your dog does.  Good luck, and I hope you find your baby!
