Hi Everyone,
I am not sure in what forum I should post this; it's regarding safety. Earlier today I took Gryphon outside for sun as usual. We were out about 10 min. & he was walking and nosy as usual when he suddenly bolted. He went 30 ft. in SECONDS!! I couldn't catch him. Thank goodness my friend was visiting & grabbed him before he disappeared into the woods. Gryph has never done this before but now I have to take precautions. Does anyone know if the lizard leashes/harnesses are safe? If he would bolt again wearing a harness I'm afraid it would break his neck/back/leg. Any advice will be appreciated.

I appreciate your info KarrieRee. But I am not looking for a costume. I am searching for info regarding the safety of leashes, harnesses and vests for sale from Amazon, Pet Co, etc... I almost lost Gryphon today. He didn't just scamper off. He went from a basking stance to a full-on BOLT. I googled their speed. 9 miles per hour. I was wearing sneakers & running as fast as I could. I jog 3 miles 5-6 days weekly. I could not catch him. My guy friend belly dived onto the ground & grabbed Gryph. I am afraid a lizard harness will hurt or kill him if he decides to bolt again. Just looking for info if anyone has had a similar situation. If not, Gryph is not going outside. Ever.

Hey KarrieRee I was wrong. Just hit on a site that stated bearded dragons have a top speed of 25mph. WOW!!!! I am so thankful my baby is still mine!

Pampered beardies used to sell leashes as well that's why I posted the website- they may not sell them anymore- I got one from them that goes over and under the arms like a harness- it's on Etsy search my reptilerocksleashes see if it comes up and if that's what your looking for
Wow! That is fast

We just got one from Etsy that I decided (based on nothing but my opinion after looking around ?) was the safest looking.
The seller is Lizard lovers.

Awww your dragon is adorable! Looks young, though I am certainly no expert. Thanks WinFam, I'll check out Etsy. KarrieRee mentioned this site too.

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
