Bearded dragon Ember, tan with orange beard

I miss Ember badly—yesterday around 3pm I realized my bearded dragon is missing. Ember is a 12-inch tan bearded dragon with darker crossbands and a bright orange beard that flares when she’s curious. She has a small crescent-shaped scar above her left eye and a slightly irregular tail tip from a past shed. I last saw her in my back porch behind the Shell Factory on Colonial Boulevard in Fort Myers, where she probably slipped into a shady spot under a planter by the loading dock. She’s not just a pet—she’s part of the family and really means a lot to me; if anyone spots her please get her back to me, I’ll be forever grateful.
