HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

[Already_Gone]

Hey every one...
One of my beardies has escaped and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions where he may be?? I have looked everywhere and I cant find him. I am worried that he has gone down stairs cause the tiles are cold and I dont want him to cool down too much. Can they go down stairs??
Any suggestions

Uh oh!! Try the flour trick, ie. dust the floor in flour and follow the footprints.

It could easily ju,mp down a flight of steps search under anytrhing how big is it it will probly go for ahiding place like under cupboards

Liana,
Have you looked on the backs of your curtains, and up higher than you would normally.
They are pretty good climbers and feel secure up higher.
Also, the back of your fridge, computer, and any other heat sources.
Good luck, I hope you find him soon.

My fav female beardie spent a night in the garage with my 2 cats after getting out of her enclosure (still dont' know how she managed to move 6ply glass). She got cold during the night and mustn't have moved and found her after ripping room apart and ringing everyone (sorry chris w, shane, darin etc etc) telling them that she had been stolen and it was obvious that they only wanted her, bypassing all my olives, macs etc. Still cop ribbing about it 3 years later.
Anyway, night time is probably the best time to look as they get cold and settle in for a sleep, unless your house is pretty warm they might not be making midnight jaunts, unlike snakes that are nocturnal, so flour may not be as usefull as it is when trying to find pythons.

I still cant find him

If you have temp control in your house (ducted air conditioning) make it nice and cool and this will (hopefully) maximise your chance of finding him. Also try make your house seal proof (dontl eave doors open etc.)

im not speeking from experiance but its just comman sence.

cheers, jeremy

ps: if you do have cats this may be a bad idea as he cant run away at top speeds to escape.

Ok... he climbed up the side of the washing basket... its a cane one and I looked aroung it 3 or 4 times... damn him...lol he even had the audasity to look grumpy at me for finding him... lol you should see my house!!!! Thanks everyone for the tips... and seth... a cat isnt on the cards... although I could do with some new ugh boots...lol

Pleased to here that you found him, safe, sound albeit a little grumpy!
You spoiled his little adventure! LOL! Bound to be a bit grumpy!

[Whaa]

Now that you have found him I would go over his enclosure and make sure he can't get out again.
