Vermont game wardens say a Westfield man is facing fish and wildlife violations for illegally bringing two lizards to the state.
Warden says the dwarf caiman found in 29-year-old Raymond Barlow's home is similar to a crocodile and can grow to over 5-feet long, with heavily armored skin and powerful jaws. The other lizard is a water monitor, which can grow to over 100 pounds and more than 6-feet long.
Both lizards were foot-long juveniles.
Barlow is charged with illegally importing the lizards. He faces fines of more than $700.
Wardens say they began their investigation after they received a tip via social media. The lizards were turned over to a wildlife rehabilitation facility in Massachusetts.
Barlow's phone number has been disconnected. It's unclear if he has an attorney.
