Very carefully.

Seriously, I have to admit that I have very little experience in catching lizards. On the rare occasion that one got loose, I have been able to just walk up to it and catch it by hand. Dragons aren't that fast.

However, if you can easily hunt him down but can't capture him due to speed, I suggest just using several people and various soft implements (brooms are good) to shoo him towards an exit. If you are unable to easily locate him and need to trap him like a rat/mouse, I suggest seeing if you can secure a small animal cage from the Humane Society (I believe they loan them out) and lure him with some greens (collard, mustard, etc.) and/or large meal worms (if you can find a reptile store close to you. If you let me know where you live, I'll see if I can locate one near you.
