Bearded dragon Pixel, orange-tan with blue chin dot
Description
Yesterday around 3:30pm I slipped while cleaning Pixel's enclosure and he bolted out through the screen door into the courtyard behind my apartment on 6th Street in Sierra Vista. Pixel is about 9 inches long, orange-tan with a distinctive blue dot under his chin, and his tail tip is a bit frayed from a past snag. I last saw him near the entrance to the Sierra Vista Public Library on 3rd Street, where there is a small fountain and some potted cacti. He is a gentle, curious guy and really depends on heat lamps to stay warm, so I am worried about him in the cooler evenings. If anyone spots Pixel, please contact me here - I would be so grateful to get him back.

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.
