Mazonic Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 i was away on trip up north and the damm house sitters left open the door to my leopard gecko enclosure and forgot to close them (even after i wrote in the instructions to MAKE sure they do).... :facepalm: the two biggest leopard geckos then decided to explore the garage... after gently removing most things while i look i am yet to find them.. :cry1: :evil: Does anyone have a method to find and catch them? e.g. i am away during the day so a trap would be great.. Help? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 as they are nocturnal night time would be best, sit with a torch and wait maybe live crickets in a cage may work to attract them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleadus1 Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 make up some sort of warm box type thing, maybe with a spare heat pad or ceramic heat emitter. my big male escaped a couple of times and found him under my heated mealworm breeding rack..

Rabbit Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Few more escape stories than im comfortable with..... lol Agreed there going to go to heat and dark, my snakes would go for under the electric blanket in the instance they got out.
