JANESVILLE—The black-throated monitor lizard that has been loose in Janesville since at least Sept. 28 has been caught and is being held at the Rock County Humane Society.
Janesville police used a dog snare to catch the monitor at 5:46 p.m. Wednesday at 613 Williams St., Sgt. Mark Raztlaff said. That is the same yard in which it first was spotted.
Several people reported seeing the monitor in the area of Williams Street and Memorial Avenue last week. At least one person reported seeing it escape into a sewer.
The monitor will be collected and cared for by a local reptile rescue, humane society operations manager Jim Hurley said. The monitor appeared unharmed, although it will require a reptile professional to be sure, he said.
