Leopard gecko with orange tail and blue eyes
Description
I lost my leopard gecko yesterday around 3:15pm. It’s about 6 inches long, yellow-tan with a bright orange tail, and it has striking blue eyes. There are two small blue spots near its right hip and a tiny nick on the tip of its left front claw. I last saw it in the living room at home, near the front door, and I’m pretty sure it slipped out into the hallway. I’ve checked the area around the Walmart on Sparkman Drive in Huntsville, especially the Whitesburg Drive intersection, but haven’t found it. This gecko was a rescue and means a lot to me—really hoping it turns up soon. If you see it, please message me so I can come pick it up.

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.
