Hey guys! So my neighbor called me about 2 hours ago and said she found a bearded dragon in her mom's driveway. Said it almost scared her half to death and she almost stepped on it! She asked if she could bring him to my house. She related to me that a lady down the road may have lost him but she's not sure. She went to the house but no one was home so she left a note and her number.
He seems to be doing good so far. I gave him a bath - he was filthy! Covered in dirt, leaves and cobwebs. He is missing two nails and the entire fifth digit on his right back foot. He has a scar on his left side which is already healed. There seems to be a nice sized lump on his left forearm but it doesn't seem to be causing him any pain or discomfort. He's moving all around and trying to escape from the viv I set him up in. This poor guys seems to have pretty extensive damage to the bottom of his beard/neck area which is mostly healed and scarred. As a matter of fact, when he was black bearding, some of this area stays pink where the scarring is but there seems to be some skin protruding outward, meaning the edges of this wound are not well aprroximated. This small section that protrudes is still able to turn black. There's no blood or scabs. He is shedding a bit.
I gave him a bath, made him a salad of greens and offered worms (which he did not eat). I believe it's a male. I was only able to snap two pics so far. You aren't able to see the damage to his beard but at least you can see what he looks like. The kids want to keep him but we'll wait to see if this woman claims him and if not, we'll place an ad in the paper. I am a little conflicted because of the injuries (the woman we think he belongs to has 7 cats - maybe that's where the damage came from?). He's a little bit skinny but otherwise okay.
Here's his pics:
He get upset when I try to look at his beard. I will try to get pics of that scarring tomorrow.
