CHICAGO (WBBM) -- A Libertyville family is trying to find the owners of a two-foot-long Savannah monitor lizard that's been hanging around the hot tub.
The Savannah monitor is a lizard that's a native of Africa and apparently likes the cuisine in Libertyville - in the yard of Betty and Jim Moran.
"It went into the area underneath our hot tub and came out with a mouse in its mouth. And according to my wife, it gulped it down in one swallow, without chewing it."
Jim Moran says they really don't have a problem with mice, as a rule, and would prefer it if the lizard went elsewhere. Preferably back to its rightful owner.
Moran says the problem is, the cooler weather has sent the lizard into hiding - so catching him - or her - is not easy.
