Description
Yesterday around 3pm I lost my leopard gecko. It's about 4 inches long, sandy tan with dark brown spots and a bright orange tail tip, and it was in a 12x8 inch glass terrarium with a black lid. I last had it outside the CVS on Fort Avenue in Lynchburg while I grabbed groceries; the terrarium has a cork hide and a small heat lamp inside. The gecko has a faint white dot at the base of its tail and a crescent-shaped scar behind its left front leg. If you spot it, please text me—this little guy means a lot to me and I’m really worried.

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.
