        It's called a monitor lizard and are prevalent in SW Florida. We have one in the neighborhood that is over 6 feet and called Elvis. 🐉🎸

        How far south? Tampa? I hope not. I’m sure I would have a heart attack if I saw one of these. Hell, the Pygmy rattlesnake just about did me in!

        I don't think so...they like trees and water. Cape Coral is a canal city.

        Why didn't they call their DNR or a critter removal service to trap him or catch him and relocate him?? Weeks is way too long to let a reptile control your property! That's NUTS!

        Why didn’t they use the Florida stand your ground law and shoot That lizard ? It would be made into a nice pair of shoes and matching wallet if that was my back yard !

        That’s what I was thinking! Shot the darn thing. It’s not native to Florida. It’s not endangered. If I had little kids and that thing was in my yard, hubby would have shot it already.
