The dor of the cage was open for about 5 min.,
and it was enough for Kowalski(platyurus) to go for big escape.
The litlle rascal plan it for a long time.

Any suggestion how i can catch him. I suppose he is still in my herp room (bedroom), the warmest place in house (22-24C, 70-75F).

I dont mind if he is a“free hunter“ in my house, he would find a lot of pray(loose crix, moths and spiders) but im afraid could he survive conditions in my house. He could hide around terrariums where is a lot wormer, and i put there a few dishes with water for humidity (50%).

Just look for him behind paintings, posters and about anything that is close to a wall. Eventually he will turn up.

Dont worry too much , Most people end up finding their lost reptiles. I had a Land hermit crab survive over 2 weeks in my bed room where she had No food, The room was too cold ( around 20*c and they live at about 30*c ) They constantly need fresh water and salt water so she had none of these in my room, And of course no food. I finnaly found her getting out of under my furniture for my clothes. She was full of filth. She's still alive today.
Hope you find him soon !
Good luck.

I had a similar incident with my hemidactylus fasciata(red eyed-banded gecko). A few days ago I was cleaning his cage and picked up his cave and he freaked out and jumped out and him the floor, before I could react I saw him run into a small crack inbetween two walls joining together. I looked and looked for him from the day onwards. On tuesday when I was searching through our storage room, it was alittle messy down there and I started to pick up old papers etc. I picked up this sheet of old construction paper that was laying over an old drain in what used to be a shower room. There he was! I tried to grab him, but he got away again and ran into a crack the wall. So what I did after that, I put that same paper over the drain again seeing that he might come back to that same spot again? So several hours past, it was nice a dark in there, at 3am this mourning I went back in with a flashlight and picked up the paper covering the drain....there he was again!!! This time I was prepared with a deli cup in hand and got him! I'm so relieved! He is definately the fastest gecko I have ever had! Here is a picture of him
