Check your closed loop plumbing. They have been known to live in PVC pipe.

Look for its hideout. It likes to build little forts with stray frags/rubble etc. If you find a pile wedged into the rock somewhere move the pile or move parts of it around to see the opening. If the pile is there again the next day or a few days after, you'll know where its hiding. Thats how I found mine.
