Now back to the men's room.

99.9.9. KISW.

Here's a weird one for you.

Wildlife officials say a lizard in the blizzard has been rescued after a man discovered the large cold blooded reptile

buried in the snow in Rhode Island.

I wonder, he must have been shoveling herself because I googled these things.

They're basically white and black. It would kind of disappear in the snow. Somehow, uh, that thing survived the frigid temperatures. According to the New England Wildlife Center, Providence man spotted the T-Goo lizard from his driveway. The reptile was quickly brought indoors. He wrapped them up in a t-shirt to help conserve heat. I think it was like a rock t-shirt. For some reason, I'm basically like Nirvana. Yes. E.T. Reptiles, a reptile store based in Rhode Island, agreed to pick up the Tegu and take it to an animal hospital. I believe I'm saying that, right. There are veterinarians found him to be extremely weak, underweight, and not moving well.

The tongue had also suffered frostbite and muscle weakness due to prolonged exposure to the cold.

A circumstance, they say, that leads to a cell failure in cold-blooded animals and low temperatures.

A small portion of the tongue was amputated to help with its recovery.

He is now resting comfortably and finally warm, which makes all the difference.

We'll be rooting for a good outcome, and we'll share updates as we have them.

Sinner says it's unknown if the lizard escaped on its own from wherever it was being

kept or was abandoned.

The black and white lizards are native to South America and become popular in the pet trade.

They've also become known as an invasive species in certain states like Florida.

As more owners who intended to keep them as pets have now abandoned them into the wild.

And they can grow up to four feet long.

That's what I wanted to know.

Yeah.

They are invasive in Florida. And did you guys see the stories and the videos out today? Because Florida is going through one of the biggest cold snaps they've had in years. Oh yeah, for sure. Correct. But people are just going and picking these damn things up. Oh, the iguanas? They're frozen stiff. Oh, yeah. They are frozen stiff and they're picking them up and then they're just dumping them in the trash. they're throwing the iguanas in the trash they're taking them up, and then they're just dumping them in the trash.

They're throwing the iguanas in the trash. They're taking them to a place where they're disposing of these things. All right. I mean, are they dead, or do they do their whole-blooded hibernation? Both. But there are so many of them that they say, look, and the damage they do is enough to just like say, all right, man, just bring them in. we'll get rid of these damn things.
