A Davie family got an unwanted visitor this week when they found a Nile monitor in their backyard.
Trappers were called to the home to capture the unwanted guest, but they haven't been able to yet at this point.
Homeowner Zack Lieberman said his wife spotted the lizard this week.
Lieberman took video of the Nile monitor in his backyard. For the Lieberman family, spotting the lizard has been a reoccurring thing and turning it away has been no easy task.
Nile monitors are most dangerous around pets and children, according to experts. Lieberman, who is a father to young children, worries about their safety outside.
Residents in the area have been pulling out the stops, using raw chicken, mice or anything else appealing to shuffle the lizard away.
While Nile monitors are not venomous, their bites can be very painful.
