Yesterday one of my screws came lose on a cage i biult for my leo Spook. I feed him around 12pm to 2am. I went to sleep and the nwoke u pat 2am to feed him that was when i noticed the door wasn't sealed right cause of the screw. So i looked in his cage, had a heart attack when i couldn't find him. This guy is so small also, when i got him from the pet store he was pretty skinny, now his tail is doubled in size. Anyway it took me an hour and a half to clean out my room look in radiators and every thing. The crapy part is i left my door open a bit, but i didn't think he go into the living room. So it took me 2 hours to clean my living and my brothers room to try and find him. Just before i gave up for the night i went in behind the tv with all the wires, found nothin then i took a flash light looked under the tv, and i found the little guy.woooooooo hoooooooo....... went to sleep at 5.30 am ............. ZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzzzzzzzz

I had my male escape as a baby. He was in a rubbermaid container tall enough so he could get out, but it was shaped like a thick T and used the two walls that were opposite eachother to climb out, quite a smart little plan, lol. Anyway I was super worried and spent an hour moving everything out of my room to find him, and guess where I ended up finding him....behind his and my other geckos tank, lol, he went a whole foot. Anyway glad to hear you found him, later

There was once we thought we've lost one of our gecko; we looked everywhere in the tank and couldn't see him, we removed all cage furnishing, opened the lid of the humid hide, but just couldn't find him anywhere. Well, the tank is a all-glass tank 12 inches high, just as I start to think that he may have jumped out (not possible, I was a new owner then), my husband spotted the very tip of his tail sticking out from the moss of his humid hide, we removed a bit of moss and there he was, smiling at us!
