Leopard gecko Mango, yellow with blue dot
Description
I lost my leopard gecko Mango yesterday around 3pm. He’s about 6 inches long from snout to tail, yellow with black spots, and his tail is a little kinked from a past tumble. There’s a tiny blue dot on his left hip that helps identify him. Last seen near the Sandusky Public Library on Meigs Street, by the fountain outside the main entrance. He tends to hide in warm spots, so he might be tucked away in a sunny windowsill or under a bench in a shaded spot nearby. This gecko is a gift for my daughter, and we’re really worried—we’ve been calling for him every few minutes since he vanished. If you spot Mango, please email me with any sightings.

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.
