Two females got out of their enclosures last night! I have NO CLUE how they got out, but im on teh search for them. I found one already in a bag of aspen hiding from the daylight, right next to the cage.

The best time to look for them would be at night. If you look now, look in the top and bottom corners of all the rooms. Good luck!

Yeah, and during the day look in all the dark places, i am not sure how many dark places you have, but don't forget to check the bat cave. I am sure she will turn up soon, just keep looking.

at night look up high on your walls ..if you happen to have a red light turn off all lights(close curtains) find a comfy chair and go gecko spotting...good luck. my tigerbarr bolted out of his cage one night and i didnt even know; till i saw him shoot up the wall at mach 4!!! good thing i saw him, he is my most prized posession( ide give up my kids first,,jk lol)

ewwww yeaa id definitely watch your step, and good luck finding the little bugger. there surprisingly faster than i thought they would be,i though thed be lazy and kinda slow, but then when i saw them at this petstore one of the people put there hand in the tank to grab him and he was up on the wall before you could even think of saying a word that you would say to complete that little phrase "it was gone before you could say... gecko" or somthing along those lines lol

Cresteds are pretty resilient, so there's still hope. You can try setting out plants in the corner of your rooms and spraying them every night. Sounds retarded, but I think I remember someone saying a long time ago that they found their gecko in their bathroom plant, licking water off the leaves. Good luck!

keep puting out food in the same spot every night. they will return to eat every night,once they know where the food is. the trick is to catch them in the act,and snag her little but. whon you put down food, if you notice it is gone...she is still alive. remember cresties are still reptiles, so they are great survivalists....and can go without food a while before actually buying the farm. the plant idea is also a really good one so definatly try that too. maybe put the food near the plant...good luck
