Leopard gecko in glass terrarium, orange-tail, lost near campus
Description
I lost my leopard gecko Pico yesterday around 3pm. It's a tan gecko with olive-brown blotches, about 6 inches long including the tail, living in a clear glass terrarium with a red heat lamp and a little cave decor. Last I saw Pico, he was slipping along the edge of the campus library entrance near University Street in Eugene. He has a tiny white scar on the left hind foot and a faint blue patch behind the left eye, plus an orange-tinted tail that makes him easy to tell apart from others. This gecko is really special to me—he was a rescue and means a lot to my family—and I’m truly hoping to get him back. If you spot him, please message me here in the app; I’d be forever grateful.

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.
