Description
I lost my leopard gecko yesterday around 3pm on George Bush Drive near the West Campus Library. It's a small 6-inch gecko, lime green with bright orange spots along its back and a pale yellow belly, with a tiny scar behind its left eye from a shed. It lives in a 6x8 inch glass terrarium with a black lid and a small heat mat, and there's a blue ID sticker on the tank that reads Rex. This gecko means a lot to my family—it's my son's first pet—and I’d be forever grateful if someone spotted it wandering near campus or turned it in at the Lost & Found in Bryan/College Station.

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.
