Leopard gecko with orange spots, missing in Bemidji
Description
I lost my leopard gecko yesterday around 5pm. It’s a small gecko, about 7 inches long, green with bold orange spots and a pale yellow belly; the tail is orange with a faint blue tint at the tip. There’s a tiny white scar on the left side of its neck and a chipped toe on the right hind foot. It lives in a 20-gallon terrarium with a heat mat and humidity gauge, and the lid slipped off during feeding, I guess. Last seen near the Bemidji Public Library on Oak Avenue, behind the building by the bike racks. This gecko means a lot to my daughter—it's our family pet and really special to us; I’d be grateful for any help bringing him home.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
