Leopard gecko with orange spots, missing since yesterday
Description
I lost my leopard gecko with orange spots yesterday around 3:15 pm. It is a small, about 4 inches long gecko with a tan base and vivid orange saddles along its back. I last saw him in my Space Coast apartment in Palm Bay, near the Cocoa Village area off Malabar Road, curled behind the sofa next to a warm heat lamp. He is pretty skittish and tends to freeze when people approach. He also has a tiny white dot on his left hind toe and a faint blue tint to the tail that shines under the lamp, which should help you spot him. If you find him, please message me right away; he means the world to me and I am really worried.

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.
