Bearded dragon, orange with blue beard, missing Monroe Park today
Description
Yesterday around 3pm I lost my bearded dragon, Ember, in Monroe. Ember is about 6 inches long from snout to tail, with a bright orange and tan pattern and a striking blue beard that shows when she’s stressed. She also has a small pale scar above her left eye from a past handling incident, and a faint orange streak along the tail. I last saw her near the Monroe Public Library on Main Street, behind the library parking lot by the bike racks, and I walked toward Monroe Park by the river; I checked the nearby pet store at Main and Oak but she must still be out there. I’m really worried—she’s my indoor buddy and loves warm lights and exploring tiny spaces. This reptile is a bit shy but curious, and she has sentimental value for me.

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.
