Blue leopard gecko in glass terrarium
Description
I lost my blue leopard gecko yesterday around 6:15pm. It’s a tiny reptile, about 3 inches long, blue-green with yellow spots along the back and a pale belly, tucked inside a clear 12x12x18 terrarium on the kitchen window ledge when it slipped out near the heat lamp. Last seen around Borough Market on Southwark Street in London SE1, I think it wandered into the gap behind the fridge or around the brick wall near the Market entrance. It has a tiny white scar on the base of its tail and a chipped scale on the left hind toe—two little features that stand out. I’m really hoping to get it back; it’s a rescue pet and means a lot to my family.

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.
