On phone so please excuse any typos. Coworker saw this at one of my locations, said it was trying to get into the building. Affectionateoy dubbed it "Godzilla". Shared a picture.
I don't know much about lizards, but I don't think this is native (we're in a large city in Oregon), is this nature or is some kid missing a pet?
Thanks.

If that is the case, its not likely a native of Oregon and has either escaped from pet store or a family.
Hopefully an escaped pet, but I wouldn't put it past some people to have dumped it.
If it's still around, may want to try and catch it and put up some "Found your lizard" signs. According to Wikipedia, they originate from central Australia, so I'm guessing Ohio isn't exactly it's ideal environment.
They're usually pretty docile, but I've been bitten pretty hard by beardies in the past, so wear gloves before you grab it.
That is a bearded dragon fo sho
I have grabbed zillions of them - when in highschool I inevitably got called upon to remove them from the playground so the other kids wouldn't throw things at them (or kill them
He/she will probably puff up, open mouth and hiss when you approach. As long as you grab him from behind that doesn't matter though. I have never been bitten by one because despite their appearances of being a bad ass they are really pretty derpy.
It's an unusually light one - even though they can and do change colour - so is probably a central Australian subspecies. It may also interest you to know that while they are related to frilled neck lizards they are not them (and it always annoys me when people call them frill necks!).
You can maybe tell if it is a boy lizard or a girl lizard by its head shape - males tend to have broader more triangular skulls than the females - but you need to have a basis for comparison there, I guess.
'nice storefront you have here. .... can I come in?'
Still no ads in the lost/found section on craigslist, I'm going to keep an eye out though.
Listen to Apothe0sis.
I have been bitten by all manner of nonvenomous reptiles, and one of the top three in terms of "ow fuck" was a full-grown bearded dragon that didn't like my cheek.
Maybe direct him to the complaint department
He is the complaint the department!

I love scritching my friend's bearded's "beard" they feel like a koosh ball, downside is once I start I have to do it for like an hour or he gets mad.
