Bearded dragon, juvenile with blue-tipped tail
Description
I lost my juvenile bearded dragon yesterday around 3pm near Riverfront Park footbridge on 1st Street in downtown Wausau. He's about 4 inches long, with tan and olive-green bands and a bright blue tip on his tail. He has a faint scar on his left front leg from a recent shed, and his beard darkens noticeably when he's stressed. I had him in a small enclosure with a white heat lamp; I must have left him behind during a quick stop near the riverwalk. This little guy means a lot to me, and I'm really hoping someone picked him up and kept him safe—he's been part of my life for about 7 months. If you spot him, please message me in the app and I’ll get to you as soon as I can.

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.
