Description
I lost my emerald gecko yesterday around 3pm near the Imperial Valley Mall parking lot, behind the food court on N. Imperial Ave in El Centro. It's a small leopard gecko about 5 inches long, with an emerald green body, dark brown spots, and a pale yellow belly. There’s a tiny nick on its tail and a faint scar near the left jaw. It usually lived in a clear glass terrarium with a bright blue lid. This little guy is my daughter's rescue pet and it's really special to us—if you see him, email me at [email protected]; we'd be deeply 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.
