Bearded dragon found near Albany Public Library
Found a bearded dragon this morning around 9:15am near the Albany Public Library on Madison Ave. It's about 8 inches from nose to tail, tan with dark orange blotches along the back, and a slightly brighter orange beard that flares when it's excited. I spotted him tucked under a bush by the library entrance, then he wandered onto the sidewalk by the bus stop. He has a small crescent-shaped scar behind the right front leg and a faint white speck on the left eyelid—unique features that should help you identify him. If this is your pet, please get in touch; I know how stressful it is to be apart from your reptile.
