Escaping Pets

uncg2005 Jun 01, 2003 12:54 AM

Came home from work today to find my High Yellow female was missing, and the thought of another long search for missing reptiles ain't very appealing, given my past luck with such searchs my adult Savannah monitor took a month to find, and a flying gecko i had took a year and a half to find. My Iguana no problem he gets loose he goes straight to the utility room and on top of the cloths rack, except when he made it out to driveway which resulted in a fun chase through the yard. This time luck shined on me a few minutes ago she came crawling across my foot while i was at my computer. So all is good and shes spending the night in another tank till i get rid of the escape route.

When we first brought our new girl home, she escaped from me before we got her into her tank. It took a good half-hour of searching under furniture with flashlights, and eventually, when we did find her (under the middle section of the couch, where she had crawled UP into a hollow spot) we had to tear half the living room apart to get her out. All is well now though, no more incidents of her trying to fly (which was how she got away from me, she forgot that she didn't have wings), and she is getting along FAMOUSLY with our other little girl. They're always snuggling together in the same hide.
