Estevez told KGTV the 5-and-a-half-foot, 35-pound lizard was last seen March 4 at around 1:20 p.m. He said the lizard likely escaped through a small crevice between the bottom of his cage and the ground. Estevez alerted county animal services about Bubbles' escape after searching the surrounding area and failing to find the lizard. He said Bubbles is comfortable around people, but warned anyone who spots the lizard not to try to grab or approach him and to call the store immediately.
