I see...irony lol love it. On a side note(ok maintopic note) In this case they do have higher priorities, Heres what they know. A gargoyal gecko when missing with no sign of forced entry. Do you honestly think that sounds TOP priority to them, i reccomend going down to the PD, writing a report, telling them your suspicions and then waiting. Dont forget to leave gecko traps out just in case, a hide on the ground, his tank on the ground with the lid open(do gargs climb?) and maybe a dish of mealies, these gusy can HIDE no matter how hard we look. And yes, i understand the tank has a locking lid but still.
Gargs are pretty clumsy, but they are arboreal.
