An uninvited guest is prowling the streets and hiding under the sheds of a north Lakeland neighborhood.
LAKELAND, Fla. - A wildlife trapper is on the trail of a giant lizard!
A 2 ½- foot tegu lizard is on the loose in Lakeland.
The species is known to be aggressive and can bite people if provoked. Dustin Hooper of All Creatures Wildlife Control told FOX 13 if one of the lizards bites you, the bacteria in their mouths could cause a nasty infection. It’s unlikely that the lizard is just going to run and pounce and attack somebody, Hooper told FOX 13. The chance of somebody getting bit is when they want to get curious ‘I want to see what this is,’ and they get too close. The lizard is not going to have it. The lizard is going to bite. If that happens, you’re probably going to get an infection and get sick.
