A trick snake pet owners use to catch loose snakes it to put out a heating
pad/stone under a basket for the snake to crawl into. Check the basket
everyday with something large and ready to put over the snake who will
coil until the warm spot. This might really work well in a basement where
the cold will annoy the snake.

I once had a pet California King snake that I kept in a large aquarium tank.
It got loose, snakes are excellent escape artists, and we didn't see it for
several weeks.

One morning I heard my wife scream, she found the King snake!

It had crawled into bed with her! VBG
