Big Scare
Yesterday when I was feeding my 2 golden geckos one of them escaped the enclosure and took off across the room on the wall. He is larger than the female, who never tries to escape, and alot quicker too. After about an hour of searching behind my roommates bed and mine we found him eating some strange crickets that aparently have been living in the dark corners of our room!! Strange right? To make a long story short we eventually caught him but that was a big scare because he is so fast and there are so many places for him to hide. Has this happened to any of you ?

LOL one of the reasons I don't like arboreal geckos  At work, cleaning and feeding them was always fun  More 'almost' escapes that I care to count, but none actually succeeded. LOL... anything that is fast and can scale walls is just not cool for me  Kudos on catching the little bugger!

Yup. My male Golden Gecko took his chance one night when I accidently left the enclosure open an inch.
He was gone for about three days, then I found him on the wall near the ceiling one night.

I had to clean the tank of a flying gecko and it is NOT easy.
Arboreal's are very interesting though!

I had a nice community tank for about five years unitl my cat decided to jump on it. cave the lid in. So I woke up to dead tree frogs and anoles and house geckos running around on the walls. Those are really fun to catch!

I had a house gecko escape, fast and about two inches long, so that took a while.
