Are you positive he got out? Could he be burrowed in the cage somewhere?

My buddy had a furnace cleaning company. He found a 3 foot dried up Green Iguana in the furnace ducts. The owners said "so that's where he went, we lost him 6 months ago". Poor guy

Lol I was gonna sayyy. Mine get out and it normally only takes minutes to find them. Ones like 38" and always goes upstairs. The other one that's like 42" likes to go under the couch. My entire house is pretty tegu safe so I just let them come to me if I don't see them with a quick sweep.

I keep my snakes locked up and I could lock up the big tegus, but it doesn't matter to me if they decide they want out. All I have to worry about is poop lol.

I should have a warning sign at my front door. Warning roaming tegus and sometimes beardies, iguanas, monitors and dogs. Sometimes when a few others are out it is like jurassic park in my house. I always know their hiding spots behind the chair in a pile of blankets or under one of two couches and under some rag rugs in the pantry.
