First, I would put towels or something under the doors so if he is still in your apartment, he stays there. You wouldn't want to find him next door where there may be a cat or..... (Nevermind, you get the idea)

Also, if he's about to shed. If you find his skin, you know where he's been and can start there or at least you know he's still in your apartment. Plus you can put a food source close by and hope to find him that way. A buddy of mine found his after 2 weeks by lowering the temp. in his place, but putting a heat source in the middle of the room. One day he found him warming himself and the problem was solved.

Good luck.
