Aug. 12 (UPI) -- A Louisiana man is warning neighbors to be on the lookout for his unusual escaped pet -- a Nile monitor lizard.

Michael Lauraine said in a Facebook post his 2 1/2-foot lizard, Kido, escaped from his home during the weekend and is believed to be wandering loose in the area.

Lauraine warned neighbors not to try to capture the reptile without expert assistance.

"Please do not try to pick him up he doesn't know you and will react out of fear," Lauraine wrote.

Nile monitors can grow to be up to 7 feet long and are known to eat smaller animals.

Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries said an investigation has been opened into the lizard's escape.

This probably falls more on the wildlife side.

F#$& that som bitch.

If he can’t control his pet, a potential invasive species, he shouldn’t have one.

Tamest description I can think of. Nile monitors are incredibly aggressive and vicious.

He seems to imply that it's not dangerous if it "knows you" but I'd love to see proof of that. I really doubt this guy cuddles with his pet.

My lizard escaped in that area about 20 years ago and I ended up married with a kid on the way.

Don't get bit.

Their saliva is horrible. Like a zombie bite.
