Look what I found today.
Tom and I were driving to buy groceries and I saw a big lizard sunning in the road.
It was a 4 lane road that is often busy with traffic. I knew it had to be an escaped pet.
When I stopped my truck and got out, the lizard ran toward me and stopped at my feet
and looked at me as if to say "Thank God you're here".
He is an adult Bearded Dragon, about 18 inches from tip to tail. (that's 46 cm)
He was very dehydrated and thin. I gave him a bath to hydrate him and then we went to the store
for a bag of crickets. He was so weak, we used tweezers to feed him, but he ate 5 big crickets.
I have a pen fixed up for him, but I'm afraid my house is too cold and I don't have a hot rock or heat lamp for him.
Tom closed off the A/C vent in the spare room so hopefully it will warm up in there a little.
I don't know who he belongs to. He's very friendly so must be someone's pet.
This was a quick snap that I took when we first found him. I'll take better pics tomorrow.
