Small leopard gecko in clear enclosure found near Market Street
I found a small leopard gecko this afternoon around 2:15pm along the Riverfront Trail behind Market Street in downtown Parkersburg (Parkersburg-Marietta area). It's about 4 inches from head to tail, tan with irregular dark brown spots and a pale yellow belly, and it's in a clear plastic enclosure with a tiny heat mat and a small hide. There’s a faint crescent-shaped scar above the left foreleg—easy to spot if you know the gecko. I found it near the Market Street Plaza area, close to the pedestrian bridge by the river. If you're the owner, shoot me a quick message and we’ll get this little guy home.
Found red-eared slider turtle near Riverfront Park
I found a red-eared slider turtle this afternoon around 2:45pm near Riverfront Park along the Ohio River in the Parkersburg-Marietta area. It's about 4 inches long, with a bright green shell peppered with yellow speckles and a distinct red stripe behind each eye. The shell shows a tiny crescent-shaped scar on the left rear scute, and one tiny chip at the edge of the plastron. It seemed active, alert, and hungry but I didn’t want to keep it. If this is your pet or you know who it belongs to, I’m happy to hold onto it or arrange a safe drop-off near the Blennerhassett Ferry dock.
