Leopard gecko in terrarium, blue tail tip
Description
Yesterday around 3pm I lost Luna, my leopard gecko, from her clear terrarium while I was grabbing espresso near the Duomo in Florence, around Piazza del Duomo and Via dei Calzaiuoli. She’s a small gecko, about 4 inches long, with a yellow-orange body, dark brown spots, and a bright blue tail tip that stands out in crowds. She has a tiny white crescent-shaped scale on the back near her left shoulder—a unique feature that should help identify her. Category: Reptiles & Amphibians—Luna is a beloved family pet and it’s hard not to worry; I’d be forever grateful to be reunited with her, please let me know if you’ve seen her.

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.
