i've tried everything that's ever been suggested to find lost beardies. i lost him yesterday afternoon, and i know for a fact that he's inside the house somewhere. he was lost inside. i've searched high and low, with a flashlight, under every nook, cranny, shadow, bed, bookshelf, refridgerator, fireplace, and he's nowhere to be found. i have a clear cricket container and have moved it to random places throughout my house in the day, luckily it's not too cold here. tomorrow i'm going to set up basking spots in the house, i've already spent 5 hours looking for him as have my parents who are helping the search. i'm getting pretty desperate, i might try the "flouring the floor" method tomorrow. hopefully he'll turn up, i don't know where he'd be. it would be impossible for him to get out of the house, unless he learned to open doors, but i'm going to ask my neighbors to keep watch for him anyway. i hope i find him soon.

One time my tegu got out of his cage and was gone for about three weeks. I thought he was gone forever then one day I came home and he was just laying on my bed! so dont give up hope.
