opened my tank the other night to remove a annoying cricket in the dark, must have opened one door while closing the other and in the morning found my two albino fat tails gone. my wife found one last night and the other tonight, so stoked, been searching everywhere even the garden

The geckos always tend to seek out the heat

How can you spend money of animals like albino Fat tails and Leopard geckos and not spend money on decent caging?

They dont have suckers and can basically be kept in a cardboard box. Come on guys be more careful. We dont need exotics roaming around and getting eaten by dogs, cats and indigenous animals.

found them. the one had fallen into his neighbours house below (leopard gecko) will try post pics soon, not too sharp with the pc though

Need to sharpen up the keyboard skills too. Capital letters at the beginning of sentences would be a start.

I think that's kinda unfair to say, I recently lost a kisatchie (snake). He was in a padlocked tub, and I always closed it completely. He managed to open the lid and escape, luckily I found him on my running pc for the warmth.

lloyd I am impressed with the keyboard skills. Thanks for that.

For ground dwelling geckos look into having cages made that open at the top if possible. That way they dont go walk about so easily. There are so few around it would be sad to have then killed by some neighbour. I might be mistaken but I think there are only two or three people that could breed them here. Hope you breed yours soon.

I have also lost a few animals through my own stupidity. Since then I try to minimise escapes even more than in the past.
