Yes! I have two bearded dragons, Ming Ming and Sweetie. Sweetie is about twice as large as Ming Ming. He is the male and Ming Ming is the female. Three days ago, I put Sweetie and Ming Ming on a blanket on the sofa on a cozy blanket. I left them alone for about five minutes. When I returned Ming Ming was on the blanket and Sweetie was gone. I searched closets, left out collard greens in the hallways for him to eat, but no luck. Just a few minutes ago, I passed the 55 gallon acquarium that the animals share. I looked down for some reason underneath the stand that holds their acquarium. Sweetie was laying there, somewhat curled up, under his home. Now how did he do that? He found his way from the family room to his home which is at least 20 feet away in a different room. I know he missed Ming Ming because she was extra alert and seemed distressed while Sweetie was gone.

I do not know if a bearded dragon can find his or her way home from outdoors but indoors, Sweetie did it. I consider him a hero! He had to Dodge our little Jack Russell Terrier to get back to his home but he made it intact. Not a scratch on his little body. Both dragons are about 2/3 grown up. I'm happy he is home. I missed him and now I have the feeling that they are more intelligent than we give them credit for confirmed. I hope your dragon comes home!
