Watch as 3-foot lizard leads reptile catcher on frantic chase through Australia cafe

The same Australian reptile catcher who gained notoriety this year for tugging a snake out of a toilet is again drawing laughter — this time after sharing video of him chasing a lizard through a cafe.

The footage shows Drew Godfrey sliding headfirst under the counter as the cafe’s screaming staff runs.

Godfrey, owner of Hervey Bay Snake Catchers, identified the 3-foot reptile as a yellow spotted monitor lizard, a species known to give “a painful bite and extensive scratches” when annoyed.

“It’s bloody hilarious. I think I physically completed more athletic events than an Olympian to get it,” he wrote on Facebook. “There was running, diving and of course wrestling!”

Hervey Bay Snake Catchers was summoned by someone who reported the lizard “was causing havoc roaming around down at the medical complex in Urraween,” a suburb of Hervey Bay in Queensland.

In the video, Godfrey is first shown trying to catch the lizard in a flower bed, but it immediately runs into an outdoor cafe and hides under a table.

The wrestling match played out after the speedy lizard scrambled between tables and raced under the cafe’s front counter. One staffer is seen piling boxes like a wall to keep the lizard away.

Godfrey eventually catches it by the tail in the kitchen and takes the squirming lizard on a walk of shame out the front door.

The video has been viewed 10,000 times as of Oct. 25, with many commenters praising Godfrey’s skills. Others have admitted large lizards are the last thing they want to see under a cafe table.

“I would have been up on that table,” Alyce Martin wrote.

The lizard was taken to a more suitable habitat and released.

It is suspected the lizard was “displaced by development across the road” from the cafe, Godfrey said.

He calls monitor lizards “the most dangerous animal that I have to catch,” due to their “huge whip like tail (and) 20 razor sharp claws.”

“That species is also listed as vulnerable and needs protection,” he says. “People to stop tearing down its home.”
