Loveable lizard Larry on the lookout for new home

Wednesday 20 September 2023


Larry the Lizard, the gecko who caused a shock after jumping out of a bag after a family returned from a holiday in Madeira, can now be rehomed.

“He’s now out of quarantine and is ready to find his forever home,” said GSPCA manager Steve Byrne.

“If you can help Larry or any of the animals in need of a home please do get in touch.”

His finder posted a note with Larry which said: “Look who snuck into our case and nearly gave me a heart attack when I unpacked!”

“He ran across the bed and I screamed!!!”

In May, a Viperine Snake - now called Enrique - was found in a local garden centre kitchen after hitching a ride among cabbages from Spain.

While also this year a tiny snake travelled back with a couple who had been holidaying in Mexico.

The GSPCA has rehomed three snakes in the last week.

GSPCA Manager, Steve Byrne, said:

“We also have a bearded dragon in need of a home, [and] possibly have others coming into our care soon, so if you are looking for any kind of species it is always a good idea to register your interest with us.”
