i left my bearded dragon at work in a rubber maid type container, do you think he will be ok? i dont think it will get to cold, but I dont know if he will run out of air. the container is about 12x7x4 and she is about 6-8 inch long. i cnat get into work until tommorow at 11 becuase thats what time they open.

do you think she will be ok?,

If it is sealed it will die!

I don't know, but I think that she'll be alright. I don't think a rubbermaid container actually has a perfect seal, so there should be some air exchange. Just some advice, if you're going to ever put the beardie in a container like that again, it's a good idea to cut out a piece of the top and glue in some screen. I have a container like that which I cut a piece out and glued in screen to use as a holding container for small beardies when cleaning the tank or taking them out in the car with me. If you don't plan on putting her in the container again, then don't worry about it.

Heck, just do as I do and melt or drill some air holes on all sides towards the top of the box, not the prettiest maybe but works like a charm.

I would call the boss or whoever has the key to your work and ask if they can open it up for you so you can get it. It certainly won't be happy stuck in such a small container, airflow or not, for two days.
