Escaped....

[TripleALeos]

Ok so being this was a busy weekend for me, tank cleaning got put off till this morning. As i was cleaning the tubs in my hatchling rack, one of the little buggers jumped out and made a mad dash for "freedom".. Heres the real bad news, he was supposed to shipped tomorrow. Oh what a day... Hopefully I can find the little jail breaker soon...

OMG! I hope you don't have cats. And if you do, I hope you put them away somewhere. I think someone here posted a thread about finding missing geckos.

Thanks for the tips guys.. I have looked high and low for the little convict with no luck.. Luckily, the buyer of the little guy was understanding and took the clutch mate instead. If I dont ever find him, maybe he will take care of all the escapee crickets..

They are usually very close to were they're bin is, usually around 10 feet away (for me anyways) id recomend blocking doors off with towls and opening them slowly.

Have some extra shoes?
Put them around the walls, tipped on side, heel against
the wall so opening is available to enter.
Check, check, and recheck.

Ok folks, some good news.. The little jail breaker has been caught. Of all places, he managed to find his way into the desk drawer in my office/gecko room.. i was digging for something in a drawer and saw movement in the back.. I grabbed the flash light and there he was.. Once I caught the little guy, i got him back in a separate tub.. He seems ok, just a little thirsty and hungry.. I know I would be if I went 4 days without food or water.. Gonna keep a close eye on him over the next week or so just to make sure he did find his way into anything harmful.. Thanks for all the suggestions.. I will keep them in mind the next time (hopefully not soon) it happens.. Thanks again..
