 Crocodile Monitor Loose in St. Louis. 17-year-old Zane Donaho saved up $500 to buy his dream pet. To his mother's distress, Zane ordered a rare 4 1/2' crocodile monitor lizard over the internet. They can grow to 7', the world's longest. Wouldn't you know, the cage Zane built for the beast wasn't quite strong enough. The lizard has been spotted close to his home in the Compton Heights neighborhood apparently living off the land (or the neighborhood dogs). Wife, don't worry. We have Grand Avenue between us and this creature. The motorists on Grand have picked off grandmas, kids, and a blind person (unfortunately, no joke on the blind person). Surely they can bag a lizard. Story from St. Louis Post-Dispatch. 7-3-2006. Comments (2) Permalink. Upate: Six weeks after it's escape, the fugitive Crocodile Lizard was found in the Compton Heights neighborhood about 1/4 mile from whence it escaped. Officials say the lizard looks well fed ... hum, on what? Zane Donaho wants his pet back but mom has overruled the teenager. The St. Louis Zoo is the creature's likely home. Story. 8-10-2006.
