Help....Lost Marble Geckos

On Friday we purchased 3 Marble Geckos. Yesterday we couldn't find one of them...today the other two have disappeared as well. There is no way they could have gotten out of the terrarium short of getting through the mesh (which would be impossible).

Do marble geckos bury themselves if they get cold? Or is it more likely that they have escaped?

My male disappeared one day and the first place I looked was under their enclosure because it's heated from underneath and it's nice and dark...... and I found him!!!!!
My gecko enclosure is an exo terra PT-2706 I think

He liked to hide in the gap between the lid and the edge of the cage at the back and I just put a band aid over it and now he just hides under the water bowl.

Even after keeping reptiles for over 2 years I am still amazed at the small spaces that they can escape through...

I had accidently left the enclosure door opened just a tiny bit last night and one of my thick tails managed to get out. Luckily my son went to check on them and caught sight of him disappearing underneath the enclosure. Hope you manage to get your back.

Found them...there was a slight lip under the lid that they had gotten into. We have fixed that so hopefully now I can rest easy LOL
