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

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?

Goose does look very big there. I wouldn't like to be scratched by him.

That's huge. I would pass out if I ever ran into that.

I never knew that type of lizard existed. Interesting.
