I live in Southern half of the US where it's not that cold in winter, (Don't want to give up my location). And my place was up for fumigation... I have a number of Leopard geckos which I transported to a relative's house in separate smaller containers so they could stay there temporarily while my place was being eradicated.
Two of my geckos escaped, one Normal African Fat Tailed Gecko (M) and Normal Leopard Gecko (F) into the back house (more like a garden shed that's sealed) in my relative's place.
TT Granted both of them probably didn't like the storage containers I put them in, but I had to go back and prepare for fumigation.
I'm not sure how they were able to push out of the containers.
Usually when they escape I can lure them out with holding food since I've half trained them (so much like cats), but they are unfamiliar territory with rats in the shed. Are there extra tips people have to get them to come out than the usual? Should I bother to transport their cages, for example, etc? They are in an unfamiliar location...
I have determined what I can do better next time so this doesn't happen again, but I do want them back.
