Well I have dreaded posting this but oh well. I had my male Zues out in my living room. I watched him for a few minutes and then got totally distracted and lost him. It's been a week now and I have just been hoping every day would be the day I found him. I have looked EVERYWHERE and can't find him ANYWHERE! I can't find any way he could have gotten outside and I guess if he did he has died by now with the cold temps at night. I am just dumbfounded that he vanished into thin air. I have been depressed all week and beside myself. I am so mad at myself I am usually so careful about watching them the whole time they are out of the tank. I even took my female room to room and let her roam around thinking he would be attracted to her but nothing. I thought he had probably found a dark place somewhere and was brumating because he had been acting like he was going into brumation before he was lost. But I don't know what to think after a week and no luck finding him. I checked all the usual places, fridge, freezer, washer and dryer, desk, under all the furniture. I took everything out of my spare bedroom and the closet and then closed it off after I couldn't find him. I haven't closed off my room but I have searched it. Well I have searched every room 50 times. My hopes of him turning up have about givin up. I am sure I will still keep looking but after this long I just don't think he is going to turn up. I have tried putting out his basking light but that hasn't worked either. Any suggestions would be appreciated unless you think it is just hopeless after him being gone for a week.
