ACK!!! I lost my Male Patt!!!!

thegeckobarn Feb 08, 2004 10:02 PM

I left the top of his box and walked off with it open - distracted by screaming children. And now he's roaming somewhere in my house! I'm just praying that he didn't get farther than my room - otherwise the dogs or cat might get a tasty treat!!!!! I've ransacked about half my house on this side - I never realized until the past couple of hours how Cluttered my house is

I put out a heat pad on the floor of my room, with a piece of cardboard on it and a hideaway box. Does anyone else have any more ideas??? I really can't afford to lose this guy!!!

good luck.... i had two baby gecko escape on different occasions.. they made it from the second floor down to the basement.. the first was an albino.. he took me 6 months to capture (lived on escaped crix), the other took me about a month. can't offer any real advice.. other than just keep an eye out..

Well. I decided to check my room one last time before going to bed. Standing by my entertainment center (his box was on top of it), looking down at my alarm clock (almost on the floor), when i caught this white movement among my electrical cords. Voila! My sister and I RANSACKED my room and couldn't find it - we especially looked right in that area!!! I wish I knew where he had been hiding!!!! He certainly wasn't too happy about being caught, though. But I am!!!

I'm glad you found him. Tonight after getting home from a day long baby shower LOL (family get together usually goes on for hours and hours.......LOL) i realized that the top to my 40 gal was open...in place but open none the less. Good thing i have a large space between the tallest structure in the tank and the top.
