Put out food. That usually brings them out of hiding. You can also create a basking spot in the middle of the floor. I know Coomassie basks as soon as his light comes on at 6 AM. So, if he ever got out, I would set up a basking spot and watch it during his normal basking time. You can also put lines of flour down in door ways to see if he is going from one room to another.

This is excellent advice! Food and a basking spot should lure him out. Also try looking in small, enclosed areas; under furniture, under cushions on the furniture, back of cupboards, closets, etc.

Great advice! Hope you find Blizzard quickly! I would put her cage on the ground too, maybe she will crawl back in when she notices that it is something familiar. i guess that would only work though if you have a cage that opens in the front.

Hey inksouljah stoked to see another Kiwi on the boards!

Awesome to scroll down to see ya found Blizzard!,

Charlie did a Houdini last month as well, he was on the prowl for a Mrs blue tongue, and some how managed to escape from his enclosure and traverse 2 stories of my flat!
He musta faced off the apex predator Peech my elderly cat because the cat seemed to be suffering from PTS for around 2 weeks after their encounter lol.
He then made a home in the spare room!

Took a few hours to find him! I was really really worried when I was searching though :/ So I know how you would have felt!

I had to make some serious changes to his enclosure (a supposedly purpose built Terrarium by Reptile One) to prevent further escapes, hes locked in for good now, except when I let him out to play, he always climbs the stairs and goes back to that same room, hes sure a Mrs Blueys hiding in there lol

Yeah, not even in America can you walk into stores with a reptile. I only take mine with me when I go places if I will be outside the whole time, and even then I try to make sure I don't get too close to people unless they approach me. Enough people are deathly afraid of reptiles, and the last thing I want to do is cause a commotion from someone turning around and finding a huge lizard right next to them.

I know that we are all supposed to be tolerant and considerate, but I find irrational fears difficult to accommodate. Now if I'm walking around in public with a monocled cobra, then screaming and shouting and throwing a fit would be sensible and to be expected. But walking around with a small, calm, harmless lizard or a mild mannered non-venemous king snake, there is just no reason for anyone to freak out.

I just don't understand the mass ignorance that so many members of OUR species demonstrate.


Glad you found your lizard. Hope those cage improvements happen soon.

hahahaha yea I do take Blizzard out on missions here an their just to stimulate her mind an senses , an I know she just locks to me glue if she gets shy shel burying her head into me, an ya really cant see her =B just my arm looks odd lol I did write a email to the store manager about how I felt about the whole situation with her staff member, I felt like a real dick with everyone watching me been told off an marched through the store =S to the exit,

[Susann]

Let us know what the store manager says when you hear back from him. It'll be interesting to hear their take on it.

[inksouljah]

I will =)
