Are you heading to New York anytime soon? If so, you might run into this 4 1/2 foot lizard!

This New York lizard escaped the apartment of its owner during a move last month. Police say it fled to a tree nearby and managed to climb more than 100 feet up.

According to upi.com, traps were placed around the tree. However, the lizard found his way down and around without being captured. It was last seen in the backyard of a resident’s house.

The police department is asking for the public to be aware of any sightings and not capture the lizard on their own. Police also said the species is known to bite and secretes a venom that could lead to a bacterial infection, but would not likely be fatal to humans.

Take a look at what this lizard looks like below!

  Share

  What's the point of collecting miles if you don't cash them in? Take full advantage of using your points for summer trips. You'd be surprised at how much you can save with them!

• Planning A Summer Road Trip

  Share

  Did you know that road trips can be fun AND affordable? They are an excellent way to see more than one part of the US. By taking your own car, you can save money instead of renting one and can also stave money by staying in cheap motels while grabbing food on the go.

• Theme Parks

  Share

  Theme parks can be expensive, unless you know how to do them on a budget. Several theme parks offer camping options nearby so you can save money on lodging while enjoying another adventure. In addition, you can also cook meals after a day in the park to avoid racking up those credit cards.
• Rent a Beach House with Friends

  Share

  Not only can renting a house with friends be fun, but it can also save you a good chunk of cash. Cocktails on your beachfront patio will also cost significantly less than they would at the local beachfront bar.

• Vacation Packages

  Share

  Bundling airfare and hotel for almost any destination can help you save on travel. Websites like Expedia.com, CheapCarribean.com or Kayak.com can help with that.

• All-Inclusive

  Share

  Due to some travel restrictions still in place, resorts are fairly cheap in places like Mexico and the Caribbean. Food, drinks, and entertainment are included in the nightly rate which will save you big money.
• Travel Off the Beaten Path

  Share

  Everyone wants to travel to the latest and greatest destination, but those are usually the most expensive places to travel. To save some cash, try vacationing in the suburbs of a major city, or in a beach or mountain destination that are geared to locals instead of tourists.
