lost gecko :(

[Jacenta]

Okay, I have a new rubbermaid home for one of my geckos, and by now I didn't have any mesh for the top for air circulation, so I put a piece of pegboard with small holes over the top, and overnight my gecko somehow dissappeared! It must have pushed itself up from under. I guess my biggest question is... how long can an adult crestie survive on its own without food or water?

I have no idea but i say you have a good couple of days to search. Look in every little space. Watch where you sit, he/she could of went between a mattress or a cusion. The best i can give you is look high and low. Good Luck and keep us updated!!!!

Would setting up a little spot in the room with baby food help attract it?

See the post below "missing crestie" for more ideas. I had one vanish for two weeks and he's alright.

if you have plants in the house look thru them very carefully. alo on top of curtains and shelves. good luck, and let us know!

Yay!! I thought I was doomed to ever find him again, seeing as I live in a 150 year old house, which... isn't exactly perfect in every way. I believed he escaped his enclosure and found his way through a hole in the wall and got lost inside the wall or inside the floor. Either way, I didn't think I'd ever find him again. However, every day, everytime I'm in that room, I'd check that spot, and sure enough this morning... I check it as an automatic thing to do, and he's there! It seemed so unbelievable that he was just THERE when I looked! Well I'm happy and have definitely learned my lesson. No pegboard for them!
