    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I seem proficient in losing things

my monitor is missing. Now I know that others have lost and found their monitors.....can anyone give me a clue as to where he'd hide?? Maybe I'm overlooking something
 
where will he hide? Anywhere he can fit...and some places that you think he can't. Just do a thorough search, checking under and in everything...no matter how unlikely it seems.
 
The second search will be today after my fiance gets home. He's gonna tear it all apart again. We've looked under the fridge, stove, dishwasher, in the cupboards, in the closet, in the couch, chair and ottoman....I'm running out of ideas
 
I'm in an apartment, and he can'g get past my front door, so the laundry is out, I've already ripped apart the couch, it's not up against the wall.
 
Anything is fair game. Pick a wall close to his enclosure and start there. Search everything you encounter. Around, under, inside, even if you don't think it is a possibility. Check any small gaps between items, appliances, whatever. Since you said refrigerator - don't just look behind and under...check the coils and up around the compressor, too. Depending on the type of furniture, they can sometimes actually get inside. Savannahs aren't the most graceful animals, or very good climbers, but that doesn't mean they can't. If something is low enough for him to grab or there are things for him to climb, check (curtains, closets). Any box that is not securely sealed needs to be checked. It sounds daunting, especially when your animal is missing and you are worried/frustrated...but once you learn to think like them, it actually gets easier.
 
oh - if you have them, (hot water) baseboards or radiators = great hiding places
 
I spent 2 weeks trying to find my male savannah!!! He's just over 2' long and when I found him he was in great shape. We started moving boxes out and there he was, about 4' off the ground on top of a row of cardboard boxes. You never know. Thats why I am hoping to have a herp room done soon. Keeping them contained so they can't leave the room is the safest idea!! Good luck with your search. What kind of monitor is it? Is he's aboreal, he may be up a little bit off the ground, maybe waist high+!!
 
I don't have many shoes, and they're all checked, the oven (I have an electric clicker, there's no pilot light), fridge, and he's a savannah monitor. You think he could be hiding up at the top of the closet?????
 
My sav dissapeared for nearly a week earlier this week. I looked everywhere!!!!
Hes about 2.5' long. Just so happened He was hidding under my entertainment center. I freaking looked there!!
Here I am watching TV, and out pops a head. Talk about a plesant surprise!!!

Now If my Indian Ornamental turantula will turn up!!!
 
well, mine is still missing.....I've looked everywhere at least twice...when he's hungry he'll come out, but I'm starting to lose hope, it's almost been 3 weeks
 
I'm not so sure anymore, last night I went downstairs to get change from the laundry to get some McDs and I went to leave, on top of the smoker poking his head out from under the handsaw that was on it, was my male crested gecko that's been missing for over a month....so now I know that there is a way for them to get into the basement from the second floor, I just know that he can't get past the front door, I have it sealed well enough to keep the cold out in winter.
