Last night just before I was about to go to bed I noticed that my fat tail Reese's was not in the tank, So one by one I took everything in the tank and she was not their then I started to panic. My gecko magically escaped out of the tank and now I cant find her. So any help on where she might hide or anything?
Need help.

Most likely she is under something against the wall. There is an article giving strategies for finding a missing gecko. It was meant for a leopard gecko, but will work for a fat tail:

if you cant seem to find her anywhere, try putting a shallow food dish/her own food dish fillled with her favorite food somewhere in the room and wait. You'll have to keep a close eye on it, and it may take a long while if it even works. But its worth it for a lost pet.
Also, dont push around objects (you may trap or squish her =[) or not look down before you step...you NEED to be on the look out for her 24/7.
Check under everything, and in ANY hole like places (shoes, clothes, boxes, under furniture, IN furniture!, etc.)
Hope you find her!!

I've looked everywhere for her, I even brought out her mate, (my male) To see where he would go. But he wouldn't wonder out side of my bedroom, he would stay in and when he did go out and just turn back around and come back. Also It kinda looked like he was smelling for her because he was doing his sniffing thing when he wants to mate. Well I'm guessing she was under my bed and then left. I just hope I find her alive. But I have been keeping a sharp eye out for her. I put a cricket in a big tea ball out in the middle of my room with a water dish in hopes she will hear the cricket and come out to eat it.
She was a valentines gift from my boyfriend and I miss her so much.

keep me in this loop
I found her. I guess she went on vacation because when I came home today I found her in the tank she escaped.
I'm completely baffled on how she got out and back in the tank. YES I completely tore apart her tank to find her and she was not in their. So I really don't know how she did it.
lol I guess I got a magic type gecko.

Great news!!! Sometimes esaped geckos are like homing pigeons...they seem to find their way home!
How long was her "vacation"?
Good idea, cookie, about a cricket in a teaball to lure your escapee. Thanks for sharing!!!
