Lol funny story, I just lived a similar one.
Today, I went to feed an Uromastic we rescued 2 weeks ago.
He was in bad shape and he wouln't move much.
He did eat a lot so we knew he would make it.
Anyhow, since it is a rescue and all, I placed him in a big rubbermaid bac and put a 18 inch uv in there with a very hot spot. A trick for uromsatics is to boost the temps when you are brigning him back up the hill. So when I put those in, I then put a screen top on it and a quite heavy piece of melamine on top to secure it all.
Anyhow, this morning, I take off the melamine, take off the screen and lifted the newspaper since he would sleep under there. He wasn't.
A good chance I always close my reptile room. It took me a good 5 minutes to find him which is quite good if you would see the mess in there ;-). Mainly too many places for him to hide under the counters and all. So I started to look around and found him behind a cabinet. Got him out and the little bugger started tail whipping me like no tomorrow. So I guess his mbd is slowly getting better since he was able to climg out and go hide there. When we got him, he would barely move.
Was lucky to find him. Just didn't know how long he had been gone, could have been 1 day and a half at most. Anyhow, he is back in there, and this time, if he manages to get out, I am entering him in the world guiness for the strongest uro since he will have to lift a good 25 lbs of melamine ;-)
