my gecko escaped his tank !

So, earlier that evening I was cleaning out my leopard geckos tank, changing their water and adding some new furniture I bought them. I accidentally left the lid of the tank slightly open (it's a sliding lid). I have a low bed and the tank is about 2 feet away on a wooden trunk. So it's time for bed, around midnight. I am laying on my bed sleeping when I feel something crawling my head. I swatted at whatever I though it was at the time and quickly turned on my light. I look to where I was laying to find my gecko on the bed looking up at me. Not only did this little guy brave a 3 foot climb down the light wire on the tank, but he managed to climb up my cover and onto my head. I'm just glad he came to me and did not wander off somewhere and got hurt.
