Here's where Goose, the 'elusive' monitor lizard on the loose in Mass., was spotted
A water monitor lizard that escaped from a Webster home last week was spotted in a Connecticut town, about five miles from home, officials in the town of Thompson said Friday, July 25.
Webster Animal Control searched the area off Upper Gore Road in Webster on Friday, July 18, according to an updated statement.
Officers called off the search and asked for the public's help in finding Goose, the five-foot-long, illegally owned reptile.
Webster Police Deputy Chief Gordon Wentworth told MassLive that the lizard was 'very elusive.'
Cooler evenings this week put Goose at risk, but 'he should (hopefully) be trying to seek out warmth and sun,' Webster Animal Control stated on Tuesday.
Then, on July 25, Goose was spotted walking in the area of Little Pond on Wilsonville and Thompson roads.
The Connecticut town is about five miles south of Webster.
Thompson town officials ask that anyone who sees Goose should call Webster Animal Control at 508-943-1212, or Connecticut State Police at 860-779-4900.
