Well of course..

So I got home today to discover that Gaia had escaped her enclosure.. absolutely no idea how, but she's a jumper and gets into anything and everything so she obviously figured something out. Now I get to wait around with a heat lamp and some food. I sure hope she's alright..

happens to the best of us, poke around with a flash light as well thats how Ive found little ones in the past. best of luck!

Also look under cushions and in tiny places. The little guys are prey in the wild, so the instinct will be to hide.

meh.. how long before I should be concerned?

Check behind the fridge, washer/dryer. When Gary got out I had just made as much noise as I could in/around the garage lol, eventually I startled him and he went running across the floor. Keep a light out with some food, keep all the doors closed if possible.

Hope you find her. Cinder block on top next time.

Success! So funny story, we are all but overrun with blue-tailed and broad-headed skinks, and they always seem to hang around the same areas. So after much fruitless searching and waiting, I checked out the garage where they all hang out, and sure enough she scattered with the rest of them when I opened the door haha. But shes back in here newly fixed enclosure no worse for the wear!

congrats on finding her

Safe returns are always nice to hear. Is she in an aquarium style enclosure or a custom one?

 

[spidersandmonsters]

a custom one.. its actually a small room that used to house a stow-away bed.. a surprisingly easy transformation, since it was essentially an 8x4 wood box built into the wall.

i had an open top cage with a screen originally.. my advice is go for a front open.. it happens to all of us! glad you found her and shes safe!
