Bearded dragon orange-brown with white markings
Description
I lost my bearded dragon this afternoon around 3:15pm near the Grand Junction Riverfront Trailhead, behind City Market on 7th Street in Western Slope. It’s the orange-brown guy with white speckles along his back and a small blue spot near his left eye. He’s about 10 inches long from snout to tail, and his tail tip has a faint bend from an old scrape. He usually basks on a warm rock under a green heat lamp and eats mealworms. This little guy means the world to me—he’s a rescue and there’s sentimental value, so I’m really hoping someone saw him or picked him up and can let me know. Please reach out if you’ve seen him; I’d be forever grateful to have 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.
