Carnivorous Lizard Found In Family Toilet
<snip>

POTTY training is difficult enough for any toddler, but one Norwegian youngster has suffered a particularly dramatic reverse after a carnivorous lizard emerged from the family toilet as he used it.

The boy's mother discovered the 75cm teju lizard, a carnivorous variety from South America, as she helped her three-year-old use the toilet, the Bergen aquarium in western Norway said.
The black, yellow-banded lizard with weighed 1.5kg.

"If it had had the possibility, I'm sure that it would have planted its teeth in anything that presented itself," Kees Ekeli, the head of the aquarium, which rounded up the reptile, said.

"The little boy was learning to use the toilet rather than diapers, and one might say that his training has suffered a serious setback," he added.

The lizard, which can hold its breath for up to a half hour, is thought to have escaped from a private importer despite the fact that bringing the species into Norway is against the law.

2. He should have drained his lizard first!
See the Rules of Life Illustrated Encyclopedia. Book 1, page 47 "Lift the lid when you piss"

4. I thought all lizards were carnivorous.
(Except Lounge Lizards of course.)
