A Fort Lauderdale man was in for a surprise when he went to use the bathroom Thursday. Man finds iguana in toilet, calls 911. Firefighters respond to the home, remove the lizard. Iguana was taken outside and released into the wild. The man found an iguana inside his toilet bowl and called 911. Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue responded to the man's home and removed the lizard from the toilet. Firefighters then took the iguana outside and released it. The fire department shared pictures of the iguana on social media. "Can you imagine lifting the toilet seat and finding this? Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue said in a tweet. The man reportedly called Florida Fish and Wildlife first, but was told the agency doesn't respond to those type of calls.
What did you eat?
Sunday goose dinner.
Why raw lizard eggs of course.
Real Florida Man would have known what to do. I reject this imposter!
He sounds like a wuss to me-how do you live in Florida and manage to get freaked out by a reptile being someplace in your house-shower, laundry room, toilet-wherever? At least it wasn’t a gator...
Most of us here have had raccoons that catch the aroma of cat or dog food from our houses manage to slip past and unseen through an open garage door, patio door, etc-only to be found later hiding in the shower, behind the fridge or in a cabinet, etc-last week it happened here again-my cats were perched in front of the woodstove, snarling at the coon that looked terrified but was snarling back. I opened the front door, shooed it out with a broom-coon ran out the door and into the bushes at the fence-mission accomplished.
Not the 1st time it has happened-so-that night I baited my live trap with a piece of apple covered in peanut butter-next morning I put the trap with the munching coon inside into my 4x4 and turned it loose in the woods on my way to work. I’m over 65-”seniors” around here arent’t wusses...
What’s that iguana doing in my toilet???
.......,,
Rimshot.
I sure hope the lizard was alone in the bowl.
A lizard in the toilet? So what member of Congress WAS it?
The dog knew better than to kill the gander.He just impolitely “asked” him to move it.
Better an iguana than a red back spider. Those nasty f****rs like to hang out under toilet seats.
Many years ago there was a small lizard I found in the ice bin. On top of the ice, just standing there. He was maybe 3 inches.
Picked it up and put it on a sunny table outside, the thing defrosted and ran away.
The PD where I worked way back when, a river town, we got bat calls all the time. Each vehicle had a fishing net in the trunk for that purpose. Usually a dozen or so calls a year. Bats can carry rabies.
Along with the usual Alligator sightings...
LOL!
Geese can be aggressive & even vicious. Many country folk have watch-geese instead of dogs. Attempting to “shoo” them REALLY ticks them off.
I’ve had a few iguanas and pythons in my toilet too over the years but never called the cops,
Sounds as if they lucked out and had dinner delivered to their home.
I would have grabbed it through a trash bag, then tossed it outside. No biggie. That one in the picture is just a juvie.
I think something like that scenario (with a actual man involved) led to the phrase, “Your goose is cooked”
