A huge 4 ft. (1.2 m)-long Savannah Monitor lizard was found by passing motorist on highway 7 just outside the town of Madoc Tuesday night.

“It is
very sad and unfortunate that many exotic pet owners are not responsible with the care and keeping of their exotic pets.” said Bry Loyst, Curator of the Indian River Reptile Zoo.
