And kids can learn about him and see him. That's a nice life for him. So the people who had him weren't supposed to, am I right?

It is forbidden for a water lizard to be a pet without a permit in Massachusetts.

No one has any business with a 5 foot water monitor in their home. I'm glad he will be taken care of now.
