HOLLYWOOD, FLA. (WSVN) – Imagine an unexpected encounter in the most private of places.
A Hollywood resident awoke to a startling sight on Saturday morning when he found an iguana inside his toilet.
“There’s nothing like getting up in the morning and finding an iguana in your toilet,” Gary Greenspan said. “I went to use the restroom, open the lid of my toilet and jump back about four feet.”
Greenspan then called animal control and a friend to help catch the slippery guy, but it slithered off down the toilet pipes to surprise another one of his neighbors.
“My neighbor texted me that he had found a lizard in his toilet and caught it,” he said.
Greenspan was singing praises because he wasn’t about to go down the hole and grab this green guy.
“When it comes to snakes, spiders, large lizards, I’ll be the first to say I’m not a manly man when it comes to that,” he said.
Eventually, he and his neighbor got the lizard back to where it belongs.
“He had it in a clear plastic box and I was very happy, obviously, and we took it up the road and let it loose,” he said.
Greenspan and his neighbors are now hoping that this iguana doesn’t pop back up through the pipes, but now they know what to do if they meet again.
