Description
Yesterday around 3pm I was cleaning the living room in my Visalia townhouse, in the Visalia-Tulare area, near the Visalia Mall on Mooney Boulevard. My 5-inch leopard gecko, orange with cream speckles and a tail with a white tip, bolted from his terrarium and vanished behind the couch. I spotted him last near the entertainment center, then he darted into a gap behind the baseboard by the sofa and disappeared into the cord clutter. He has a tiny white dot on his left hip as a unique marker. I'm really hoping for him back; he's friendly, and it's tough without him.

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.
