DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Florida authorities have caught a huge lizard that has terrified residents of a suburban Miami neighborhood for months.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said Thursday the Asian water monitor lizard measures more than 8 feet (2.5 meters) long.
The lizard is an escaped pet. It was first reported loose in August in a Davie neighborhood. Residents said it lurked in their backyards and scratched at their patio doors.

I knew Hillary wouldn’t escape forever
‘Fluffy’ was captured unharmed.
I, for one, welcome our new reptilian overlords.
Davie is in Broward county, one of the places doing a recount.
I’m not sure why the neighbors did not simply off it with a shotgun.
10 gauge...
Or offed it with a quiet .22 between the eyes.
Then, roasted it slowly over pecan coals and served it with a nice Almond plumb sauce.
Is that a ballot box I see in the background?
But the “PET” was harvested and served with a light cream sauce on the side at a millionaire’s “The Last of It’s Kind” high roller haute cuisine supper.......
The chef’s name: “Larry London” (Maximillian Schell’s last acting role.

A wonderful prescient, and hilarious movie— from 1990.

jim accosta got banned and the next day they capture a lizard? Coincidence? I think not!
The owner should have lost his right to keep that animal in a neighborhood environment. Very careless.
That area has been under siege since late summer.
Parents afraid to leave their small children out by the pools.
That lizard will continue to get bigger and stronger. This probably won’t be the last time he escapes. Next time, leave poison or powerful sleeping pills out for the beast.
Better yet, get a 45 caliber and be done with the whole mess.
On his capture, Fluffy was given an already completed provisional ballot, to which he responded, “Hissss!”
A lizard that size belongs in a Zoo or an Animal Sanctuary, the kind with high locked cages. It’s wrong to keep him boxed up and away from other lizards. He might have been looking for a girlfriend!
Strangers In The Night!
Cool!
Tastes like chicken. I looked it up
