Leopard gecko in glass terrarium
Description
I lost my leopard gecko yesterday around 3pm. It's a small gecko, about 6-7 inches from nose to tail, with a lime-green body and black speckles, plus a bright orange tail that really stands out. It was in a 20-gallon glass terrarium with a blue heat lamp. I last saw him in my apartment on West Main Street in Lexington, near the Lexington Opera House, when I lifted the lid to change food and then he vanished under the couch. This little guy is a big deal to me—I've had him since he was a hatchling, a gift from my sister two years ago, and I really need him back. If anyone finds him, message me here or email [email protected].

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.
