Leopard gecko missing, blue-tipped tail
Description
Hi, I lost my leopard gecko named Pixel yesterday around 3:15pm near the River Walk behind the Majestic Theatre on Houston Street in San Antonio. Pixel is about 4 inches long from head to tail, pale yellow with brown spots and a distinct blue tip on his tail. He has a small white spot on his left hip and a faint zigzag pattern along his back. I keep him in a small glass terrarium with a heat lamp, and he's very curious and skittish, so he tends to hide in cracks and under planters. Pixel means a lot to me; it's been part of our family since we rescued him, and the thought of him roaming the streets makes me really worried. If anyone spotted him, I'd be grateful for any help getting him back to us.

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.
