Man Found Dead With Giant Lizards Eating Body
Seven Lizards Taken From Victim's Home
DOVER, Del -- Authorities in Delaware don't know what killed Ronald Huff but they said that they found his giant pet lizards gnawing on his corpse.
Police were called to the 42-year-old man's apartment Wednesday after a relative became worried when he didn't show up for work.
The Delaware Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals recovered seven lizards. The smallest was about 2-feet long and the largest measured 6-feet.
The SPCA director said that the lizards have small but very sharp, pointed teeth and muscular, whip-like tails that can seriously injure a person. He said in the wild, they eat birds, animals, eggs and insects.
Huff apparently had a permit to own an exotic pet, but officials are surprised he had so many.
