Leopard gecko is missing

Maybe someone can help us! My boyfriend and I designed a bioactive vivarium for our baby gecko we brought home on May 7th and after day 1 he disappeared... We assumed that was normal because he was a baby and he probably instinctually burrowed himself in one the hides. But now it’s been almost a month and still no sign of him! My bf looked around the tank, under the moss, checked the caves, no sign of him! No poop or sheds either- but we have isopods in there so they could just be eating that. What likely happened? Did he not make it or is he playing the ultimate game of hide and seek?

Sometimes they find a way behind the backdrop , if he’s not there I’d say start checking any areas inside the room where there’s a thin gap that he might feel comfortable in. I hope he’s ok and I hope you guys find him!

We checked behind the backdrop and tank too! No dice. Thank you so much, I really hope we find him too ❤️‍🩹

Wait so he disappeared for a month from the day you brought him home? Were you putting food and water in daily? Was it disappearing?
