Goose, a five-foot-long water monitor lizard that escaped in Webster, was found after two weeks missing. These lizards are illegal to own in Massachusetts without a permit and are known for their climbing ability and potential aggressiveness when provoked. The lizard will be relocated to RRS Oasis, a nonprofit animal sanctuary, which is fundraising for Goose's new habitat. Webster Animal Control expressed gratitude for the teamwork of various police departments that aided in the lizard's capture.
A five-foot long lizard that escaped from Webster was found, Webster Animal Control announced Saturday. Goose, a water monitor lizard, had been lost for two weeks from the area of Blueberry Lane.
Water monitor lizards, native to Southeast Asia, are illegal to own in Massachusetts without a permit. The exotic lizards are known to climb trees and seek out water, and have aggressive tendencies if provoked.
Goose's next adventure will be at nonprofit animal sanctuary RRS Oasis in Beverley. RRS Oasis is launching a fundraiser to help construct Goose's new permanent habitat.
Webster Animal Control expressed gratitude for Massachusetts Environmental Police, Webster Police Department Massachusetts, and Douglas PD, saying the groups' teamwork was essential to ensure Goose's secure capture.
