Bearded dragon found near Oglethorpe Mall
Description
I found a bearded dragon this afternoon around 2:30pm outside the parking lot behind the Oglethorpe Mall on Waters Avenue in Savannah. It's about 12 inches long, with a lime-green body, an orange beard, and a few white speckles along its back. It lives in a small glass terrarium with a blue heat lamp and a shallow water dish; there’s a tiny red identification sticker on the terrarium's lid that's easy to spot. The dragon looks well fed but a bit stressed, like it's lost and just wants to find its owner. If this is your pet, message me with its distinctive features (orange beard, white speckles, terrarium sticker), and we’ll figure out how to reunite you.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
