Leopard gecko, sandy color, blue tail dot
Description
I lost my leopard gecko yesterday around 3pm. It's a small reptile, about 6-7 inches from snout to tail, sandy tan with orange speckles and a pale belly. It has a distinctive blue dot at the base of the tail and a tiny scar behind the left front leg. Last seen near the River Walk area by the Arneson River Theatre, tucked under a planter near the Pearl on St. Mary's Street. I really miss him—he's my daughter's pet, and we've been worried about him all evening; if anyone found him, please message me. He’s gentle and escapes easily, so please check any pet stores along the riverfront.

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.
