A family in Beaumont, Texas, was overjoyed to get their giant pet lizard back after he had gone missing for an unknown period of time.
Sylvio, a nearly 4-year-old red tegu lizard, had a habit of hiding in a closet where his owners could not reach him, so they did not realize he had escaped from their home.
Sylvia Cooper, 31, said she was shocked when she found out that Sylvio had been found by a reptile dealer in Mauriceville, who had spotted him roaming the streets near her home.
The dealer had taken Sylvio in and cared for him until he could find his owners.
Cooper said she and her four children were very grateful to the people who had rescued and fostered Sylvio, who is now back at home and safe.
She said Sylvio is a friendly and gentle lizard who likes to cuddle and watch TV with them.
