Over the weekend of Set. 8-9 I when was vending at the NARBC Anaheim Show, I lost one of my little RAPTOR females. He tub was empty when I was putting away the unsold geckos. At first, I thought she had been stolen at the show since there were other thefts there (remember Geckos, Etc.'s Enigma? I just couldn't figure out what could have happened to her.
Two weeks ago when I was getting ready to leave at the crack of dawn for the Sacramento Show, I came down the hall and my Mini Schnauzer, Star, was playing with something on the floor. As I approached, she cowered down like she was in trouble, and I saw it... an albino gecko's tail. I freaked out, and almost couldn't go to the show I was so upset.
After six weeks, I had pretty much given up hope to find her... sure that Star had probably eaten her.
Well, about an hour ago, I was cleaning tubs when the phone rang. When I returned to the gecko room I realized I had left a tub on the table... and the little striped Bell inside was gone! My husband and I tore up the entire gecko room looking for her, with me crying the whole time. How stupid could I be???
As a last resort, we pulled out all the hatchling racks from the wall and looked behind them with a flashlight. We found plenty of dead bugs and quite a few spider egg sacks. My husband is scared to death of spiders, so I was removing the egg sacks with a paper towel when I saw something small and pink move. It was my little lost tail-less RAPTOR! And then, right behind her, was the little Bell!!!
I think I will sleep well tonight.
