LOST: Wild and Domestic by Cumberland Bay Trailhead

I was hiking the Adirondacks near Plattsburgh on Friday at about 7:45 PM when the paperback Wild and Domestic slipped from my pack as I paused to take in a view by the Cumberland Bay trailhead. I turned around to retrace my steps, but the light was fading and the path grew quiet. The book is worn, with a dog-eared page and a sticker from a previous trip, and I’m hoping someone picked it up to keep it safe. If you found it, I’d appreciate a note so I can get it back home.

Leopard gecko missing, orange with spots

I lost my leopard gecko yesterday around 3pm. It's about 6 inches long, pale yellow-orange with irregular dark brown spots, and the tail is a bit darker with a narrow orange band at the base. It was last seen slipping out of its blue 20-gallon terrarium carried in a soft mesh carrier while we were walking near the Champlain Centre Mall on Route 9 by the food court entrance. It has a tiny blue dot near its left eye and a small crescent scar under its chin—distinctive features I’d recognize instantly. This gecko is my daughter's first reptile and means the world to us; we’re really worried and would be grateful to bring him home if anyone notices him in the area.

Lost green tree frog about palm-sized near Lake Champlain in the Plattsburgh-Adirondacks area.

I lost my beloved green tree frog, which is about the size of my palm, while hiking near Lake Champlain in the Plattsburgh-Adirondacks area. I think it may have hopped away while I was taking a break by the water. It's very lively and friendly, and I'm really hoping to find it soon as it's been a part of my family for quite some time.
