Goose, the 5-foot-long water monitor lizard that escaped its home weeks ago, has been captured, according to the Webster Police Department.
The Webster Police Department announced on their Facebook page Saturday the capture of the lizard, promising to have more details to share.
The illegally owned reptile escaped its home in Webster on July 18. His escape prompted Webster Animal Control to search for the area off Upper Gore Road.
On July 25, Goose was spotted walking in the area of Little Pond on Wilsonville and Thompson roads in Thompson, Connecticut, about five miles south of Webster.
Goose then crossed state lines again as he was seen back in Massachusetts, in Douglas.
The wayward lizard’s story has inspired several people online to post memes and AI-generated pictures of Goose. On Saturday, the Uxbridge Police Department made a post on Facebook, with Chief Marc Montminy proclaiming that if Goose crossed into Uxbridge, he would be deputized.
But with the Webster Police Department’s announcement of Goose’s capture, it seems that the water monitor lizard will have to wait for his deputy badge.
