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.

Did it have more ballots for Broward County to count?

When I was a kid living in the PI, my friend and I built a home-made trap and caught one of these that was about 4 feet long. He kept it in a trash can at his house.
His father helped teach at the SERE course in Cubi Point, and showed us how to make the trap!

It’s ‘racist’ against brown people to point out this lizard is any different than Florida native lizards that are usually 4 inches long...

Another one of them exotic pets.
(Initially, I thought the people involved were too stupid to know an alligator when they saw one. These days, that’s alwasy possible.)

Wow. You sure he’s not part extraterrestrial with that face? Such genetics would help express his previous career choice (astronaut).

Florida authorities have caught a huge lizard that has terrified residents of a suburban Miami neighborhood for months ...and when they cut its stomach open expecting to find missing cats and chuhuahuas, instead they found a Broward County ballot box!

Was that song from that movie?
How about that! I just thought of an old Sinatra song I liked. Funny that it already had that Iguana connection.
Richard, Ava and Deborah were all big stars back then.
Sue Lyon was usually cast as the saucy little troublemaker, who worked her magic on men.
She had a similar role in the infamous “Lolita”, 1962.
To: lee martell
The song was based on the movie, but not part of it.

It was discovered trying to camouflage itself by wearing a Japanese robe. It’s the state’s first Kimono Dragon.
