One possibility for him trying to escape is it may be too hot. When was the last time you checked the temps and what were they?

They are little escape artists!!! One of the BEST stories I ever heard was from a customer of mine who's gecko escaped from a tank that wasn't latched. She tore apart the entire tank, then the room, and then the whole house, searching for her to no avail. She called me broken-hearted after not being able to find her gecko after 4 days. I assured her that she would eventually find her gecko.

Several months went by, and the customer was ready to buy another gecko having given up on ever finding her lost one. She wanted one that looked exactly like her other one, and was willing to wait for one. A week or so later, she called me and was ecstatic! Her gecko has miraculously re-appeared back in it's tank... thin, but alive and alert! She thought she was going crazy. (So did I...)

As it turned out, her housekeeping service had found the gecko under the refrigerator while cleaning, and simply put it back in it's old tank without letting her know until they returned the following week and told her. The gecko is still alive and well today.

Since then, when I hear of an escaped gecko I always tell folks to check under the fridge... it's warm, there's moisture from condensation, and apparently a decent bug supply!
