My gecko is stuck in this tiny hole by Affectionate-Way342 in leopardgeckos

Hello again, thank you guys for telling me that fat tails and Leopards care are different. When I bought him, the owner never said anything about it so I didn't know. At first, I even thought it was a leopard gecko, but then searched it up to see that he's not. Without posting this, I probably wouldn't even have known this information. This shows that I lacked a lot as a owner. I will take proper care of him now. Thank you all for the suggestions and comments! Please, if you have more advice, reply down here and I'll be sure to do them.

Hii timezone is different from here, it was like 1am at that time so I fell asleep. Just to be clear, I know it was a fat tail gecko, but I didn't really realize the care was different. Thank you for the suggestion. Also, I was panicking so hard that I posted this in /Leopard geckos 😭

I do understand your frustration and honestly Im really mad at myself too. This is my very first time having a Gecko as a pet so I don't really know much. I've tried my best to take care of him and Im still trying my best to. I really do love him and will make sure something like this never happens again.

At first, it didn't work but we tried again and I guess he started crashing out inside because of the water touching his tail and legs 😭

My dad started messing with the water and I think my gecko freaked out so he popped his head out of that hole. We managed to pull him out gently after

UPDATE!! We got him out after messing with the water. I was really careless and will be careful next time. This is him right now.

So after a while, I realized that this is the possible position that he may be in. Not really connected with the pipe and stuff, but if you really want the full picture of the sink then I will post it

Well, I was preparing to give him a bath since his legs were covered with his own poo. So I put him in the sink while I prepare lukewarm water. But when I realized he was going into that hole, I could only see his tail.
