Green leopard gecko with orange tail
Description
I lost my green leopard gecko, named Cobalt, yesterday around 5pm in South Bend. It's about 3 inches long, olive-green with dark brown spots and a bright orange tail. It has a tiny crescent-shaped scar on its left flank and a small chipped scale near the base of the tail. I last saw him in the living room, and I’m pretty sure he slipped into a gap between the sofa and the wall near Michigan Street by the downtown library area. I’ve had him since he hatched, and he’s basically family—sentimental value, and I’m really hoping to get him back. If you found him, email me at [email protected].

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.
