It's all ok now, Obama has left the state!!!!

If hungry or cornered they can be dangerous, especially that size. Unfortunately it looks like someone set it loose because they couldn't handle it.

Pretty cruel to release a tropical animal in a temperate clime.

This lizards are very dangerous. My brother use to have ALL kinds of reptiles since he worked in a zoo and now lives in Florida. You DO NOT want to try to catch this thing on your own. Depending on what kind of Monitor it is it can be VERY dangerous. Some Monitors have venom that will kill in seconds. They are VERY fast also. I hope they don't harm this beautiful creature and capture it soon so no one gets hurt! Be careful Janesvillians!!

Must be heading down to get lessons from Splinter and hang out with the Ninja Turtles.

My uncle was just here from Florida and said they have a huge problem with these in his area. People get them as pets and then when they get too big they let them go. Unfortunately, they breed and multiply and now they're all over. He said people are starting to lose dogs and cats because the lizards are hunting them.

These lizards are dangerous, but typically scared of people. My guess is that it was a pet and someone either got tired of taking care of it or it got out without them knowing. Keep an eye on your pets when you let them out to do their business. Nobody wants to see Fluffy being eaten by prehistoric monster.

MPD has been called in for the assist, they have the know how with stray animals.

thats exactly what I thought card trader.....what are the milton police, and more importantly, their secret weapon city worker doing today? naw, they are probably too busy watching re-runs from the dash cam of the cop car since they obviously have no boundaries of whats right and wrong

A monitor that large could bite your fingers off.

That lizard is in the neighborhood of the Salvation Army. With frozen turkey donations down this year, let's hope Mr. Hurley gets a chance to capture the critter before it winds up full of sage dressing with raisins.

Call the milton police they are good at running things down and catching them... or was that over?

It's GODZILLA!!

Wow, that is something. I hope they catch it before it gets hurt or even worse, it gets hungry and goes after a small child.

In the sewers of Janesville you say - You probably should lift the cover and check before using the water closet this morning. Ouch!

Uh oh, I just saw Godzilla down the street. This could get ugly!

I sense a movie in the works.

just gives me the heebee-jeebees!

Afraid of people? At 5ft long those things will hunt you down if hungry. Probably an escaped pet. So small kids and animals could be targets.

All right, who let Glenn Beck out?

A bus?

Im sure its more afraid of people and is just trying to find somewhere to hide...I hope they find it before it gets hit by a car...or worse.

Holy Crap!!

who you gonna call..........
