Bearded dragon Ember, tan with orange beard
Description
I miss Ember badly—yesterday around 3pm I realized my bearded dragon is missing. Ember is a 12-inch tan bearded dragon with darker crossbands and a bright orange beard that flares when she’s curious. She has a small crescent-shaped scar above her left eye and a slightly irregular tail tip from a past shed. I last saw her in my back porch behind the Shell Factory on Colonial Boulevard in Fort Myers, where she probably slipped into a shady spot under a planter by the loading dock. She’s not just a pet—she’s part of the family and really means a lot to me; if anyone spots her please get her back to me, I’ll be forever grateful.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
