I'm glad everything turned out. I have never had a beardie escape, but it came pretty close. I'm sure those people were happy. I just wanted to add that you should be careful what veggies you feed your beardies. And that there is no such thing as a vegetarian beardie. They can't survive, to my understanding, on pure greens. They need their crickets and their worms.
He must have traveled about a quarter of a mile away from home. He really wasn't that far, just with the wooded areas around here, it was easy for him to get lost into the burrows.
Thank you all again for all of your help. I am most grateful that I found all of you on this site!
