Orange leopard gecko in clear terrarium with blue tail tip
Description
I found a small leopard gecko this afternoon around 2:15pm, tucked inside a clear plastic terrarium that was left on a bench behind Bold Street Coffee on Bold Street, Liverpool. It's bright orange with black spots and a distinctive blue tail tip, about 4 inches long from nose to tail, with a slightly dusty belly. The lid is a bit scratched and there's a pale scar on its right hind leg—easy to spot if you’re looking for it. I’d hate to see it outside in the rain, so I’m hoping to reunite the little guy with his owner; if this sounds like yours, DM me with a distinguishing detail and we can arrange pickup.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
