HELPPPPP!!! BEARDIE LOST AND NEED ADVICE.

[fl00dedlungs]

I normally let my beardie napoleon run around my room and he does fine. I know all his hiding spots. But I left the room for 2 min and came back and he was gone. Turned my room upside down trying to find him, i'm freaking out. I have checked EVERYWHERE and it's making me think he's not in the room. I don't want to sleep until I find him. I'm 95% sure he didn't get out of my room though. What do I do? I have another beardie Lenny in the den and I put his tank on the floor so if my napoleon sees him he'll go straight towards the tank. I've got napoleon's 40 gal on the floor and set up a heat spot for him. He likes to go back to his tank. Any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Please. Thank you!!!

Hello,

They sure can disappear quickly! Look under everything, behind any cabinets or areas where there may be a pile of wires, etc. He may have crawled under something to try & sleep.
Do you have a dog or cat in the house to worry about?

Setting up the heat lamp was the best thing you could do. Maybe leave a bowl of insects or greens out, too.
Let us know if you find Napoleon!

I know it sounds really stupid - but have you checked IN the viv?
My first dragon vanished for about an hour when I was new to keeping - scared the hell out of me. She turned up sat on her branches like nothing happened. Still haven't figured that one out.
Check under the bed - under THINGS generally - mine all have a horrible habit of trying to sneak under the sofas and the armchair.

I agree with the suggestions above. It may also be helpful to take a strong flashlight and move it around the room, under objects, in closets, etc and look for the reflection of his eyes. Not too long ago someone found their lost dragon that way.

Way late posting this but Napoleon was found! My bed box spring has holes in it and it high off the ground a little and I never thought he go there. Well he was pretty far in, when I flipped up the box spring he was hanging on but fine. I ripped open the cloth to get him, he was cold and sleepy but he is fine

I'm glad to hear about the happy reunion!

How long was he in there?
