Think like a dragon lol. They usually don't go too far and tend to stay along walls or under furniture where they'll just curl up and go to sleep. You can try a couple things here, if you've got hardwood floors try sprinkling a dusting of flour and then follow the tracks. You could also lay down plastic bags and wait until you hear the sound of them moving. I've also put crickit bins on the floor and then put a basking light on the bin, sometimes that will draw them out. Good luck.

I have heard of a few of these problems before. Dont worry about it, everyone makes mistakes. The only thing i can say to you is have a very, VERY good look everywhere. They can get into places that you wouldnt think of. If you dont mind me asking, what size are they??

I found Elmer(male) behind some boxes and Wilma(Female)in the closet. They are both 1 year old and I have them in a custom cage with a divider that allows them not to see each other as I do not want to cause any stress. I'm trying to get rid of the Female only cause of money problems and I am only gonna keep Elmer. Thank you for the help guys.

I'm glad you found them. Can we talk trash to you now?
Just kidding. I could tell you had panicked. I'll bet you gave a huge sigh of relief. I've lost lizards & snakes before. It's complete chaos & mayhem around here until they're found.
One more question. Why are such a self-proclaimed ass? LOL
Just kidding again. Read your original post, I couldn't help but to poke fun, especially now that they've been found.

haha its ok i have a huge sense of humor so bash all ya want!lol yeah i was so worried about them. money and time is becoming an issue so i think imma get rid of 1. I'll probably get rid of the female just to cut back on electricity bill and just over all. so if anyone has $75 for a plain female with an orange female shoot me an e-mail lol thanks again bye
