 Gaston - missing

so i was at my girl friends house lettin him roam in the backyard....he disappeared. one side of the yard is a wooden fence no holes...cant climb it he tried. the other side is a fence...he can get through. i know he probably went through but i was watchin the whole time. i dont know how he couldve got past me when i was sittin on the fenced side. i jumped the fence went a few houses over and still no sign. its rainin out so im sure hes hidin. any ideas as to how to find him...or how to get him to come out....thanks in advance

Dante

I would look upwards..roofs,treetops I hope you find him and I pray he is okay

No offense in your time of distress but I will never for the life of me understand why anyone would let an Iguana free roam outside.

Good luck I hope Gaston is found

Hey Dante,

If you have neighbors next to and around you, I would alert them that Gaston is loose and for them to perhaps keep an eye out. I will be praying for him tonight that you find him safe and sound. I certainly did not mean to sound harsh about the free roaming in the yard but they are still wild creatures regardless of their captivity. I would in the future either make him an outside enclosure or put some kind of harness (though they do not thrill me) on him so that you cannot blink and the little (well not so little) bugger cannot dash.

Keep us posted hon

also i foned my local newspaper and they ran a story on it.

good luck

Dante,

I prayed real hard that you will find Gaston. Damn, it got cold last night too. I cannot believe that we actually had frost here. I think you are in PA right? or am I mistaken? I am in NJ.

Sending good vibes out to you

Dante,

Please keep faith that he WILL be found. Put fliers around and also maybe post on CL as well as petfinders and such. Do not give up until you have truly exhausted all efforts. He is probably fine and just basking somewhere. Wish there was some way I could help you.

Don’t give up.Ask Dragongirl6 on the beardie community forum what happened with her beardie.She lives in Seattle and her beardie got loose.She posted ads on craigslist, put up flyers, told neighbors.She almost gave up hope and when she came home late one night a week after her dragon got loose, it was just walking up the steps to her porch.I know you’ll find Gaston if you keep trying.

Dante,

Be sure to contact your local vets & SPCA in your area in case someone finds him and takes him there or the SPCA picks him up..Good luck and don’t give up hope.....I’ll be saying a prayer to St.Francis....He is known as the patron saint of animals......So Keep your chin up.......

Dante,

Don’t give up hope hon. Did you post in the lost and found on craigslist,petfinder and etc? If not, I would do that. I would get a large box and a bowl of his fav food and put it where you think he might have exited. He just might wander back and find it. In the meantime, I hope you have informed everyone and put out fliers. He is not all that little and should not be hard to spot. Thank God, it is not winter.

Still praying!
