Lost Skink (and I am worried)

Postby Romeyrider » Tue Sep 16, 2014 1:39 am

It's been a whole day and night now. He's somewhere upstairs I just don't know where. I wouldn't be so worried but I have a big family and I don't want him to get stepped on. Any advice?

Have you tried setting out some food? That may draw it out. At the very least, leave a water dish out so it can drink.

Sit quietly in whatever room it was lost in, and listen. Most of my lost skinks have been caught because I hear them rustling around while I'm working on my computer in the room.
