Freshtrax Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) I would hook him through the lips and go pike fishing. Lol that would be crazy to walk out and find. I might have to keep him in the bathtub if I did. Edited May 24, 2012 by Freshtrax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoty Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Gee... I wonder why they can't seem to find the person who's "pet" it was.... maybe its something to do with being charged?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricoboxing Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 back in the day, they used to sell baby caimans at pet stores. This is what happens to them when they get big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunker777 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) I havent looked at the article.... but I HIGHLY doubt it was an "alligator" ... most likely a "caymen" which can be purchased @ local pet shops. ( usually have to be ordered in) They belong to the Iguana family, but are very often linked to gators and Crocs because they look like them & will grow to be 6-14 ft long. But like iguanas.... people will buy them because they look "cool" when they are babies... but as time goes on... all of a sudden it gets to big and has to find a new home.

Roy Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 The one in the picture is an alligator. A caiman lizard is completely different and does not resemble any of the crocodilians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirCranksalot Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Illegal you say?? Well I be darned! . I live on the river so I'll have no trouble getting rid of mine----but some steelheaders might get a rude surprise in the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carp Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Alligators in Brampton, Bears in Burlington, Milton and Newmarket. Deer running around on the Gardiner Expressway in Toronto. Wildlife reclaiming their land. I love it ! What's next ? Godzilla rising from the depths of Lake Ontario and terrorizing the GTA ? I'll bet there are quite a few city folks who supported banning the spring bear hunt that are rethinking their decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
