Description
I found a small leopard gecko this afternoon around 3:18 PM near Capitol Park on Dexter Ave in Montgomery. It's about 3 inches from snout to tail, with a yellow-tan base color and brown irregular spots. The tail is a bit chubby and has a slight kink at the tip; there’s also a tiny pale scar behind the right eye. It seemed healthy and calm when I picked it up from the sidewalk near the Civil Rights Memorial; I figured it’s someone’s missing pet. I’d love to help reunite it with its owner—someone’s probably worried about this little guy and I’m sure they’d want him back soon.

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.
