Escape advice!

[liamandnorma]

Hi all,

I just wanted to ask everyone. I've got a young albino Leopard gecko currently quarantining in a plastic faunariam. She's pretty active and alert and always has been, finally calmed down in the hand in the last 2 weeks or so. The lid I have always had on loosely as I assumed it would weigh enough but apparently not. In the night she managed to push it up enough to squeeze out. This morning I found her down the back of the bigger viv (not hers) wrapped in an unused piece of carpet!!!

Phew. Luckily it was one of the first places I looked. Anyway, she may have had a bit of a fall in the process, but I can't see anything unusual on her. She was very cold to the touch this morning but pressed herself on my hand immediately for some heat and began to warm up. She's now back in there sleeping quite well I think after settling down.

Is there anything I should look out for? What about stress? Should I leave her be for a few days or something? Any advice would be great.

I panicked this morning when I looked in and couldn't see anything, lifted all the hides but nobody was home, and the lid was back on the tank!

What a little houdini

I would just look for normal signs, eating and drinking okay, normal bms.

I cant tell you how many times critters escape on me.
If I'm in the reptile room and my boyfriend hears me call for him - its usually to lift up my tread mill to retrieve a snake.
I now put BRICKS on the tops of my snake cages.
