I found a small leopard gecko this afternoon around 2:30pm near the Bemidji Public Library on Beltrami Ave NW. It's about 3-4 inches long from snout to tail, tan with bright orange spots along the back and a slightly fat tail. The tail is a bit kinked at the end. One distinguishing feature is a tiny crescent-shaped scar just under its right eye, and the left hind toe looks worn. It seemed calm in the sun near the library steps, so I kept it in a plastic container and stood by the information desk to see if anyone would claim it.
