Bearded dragon in glass terrarium, lost near WVU Campus
Description
I lost my bearded dragon, Ember, yesterday around 3:15pm. Ember is about 9 inches long from snout to tail, with a tan base color and bright orange accents along the crest and tail. There’s a faint dark crosshatch along the sides and a tiny white dot on the left front toe. I last saw Ember near the WVU Bookstore on University Avenue, then along the sidewalk by the Student Union in Morgantown. He can slip through small gaps, so I’m worried he’s crawled into a vent or behind the plaza shrubbery. Ember means a lot to me; he’s been my buddy since I got him as a gift, and I’m really hoping to get him back safe.

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.
