instead opted for a lizard to be his pal.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, the pet is called Fluffy and the 18-year-old takes him for walks on a lead like other four-legged friends.<\/p>\n<p>The reptile was quite small whenever he got him, but now it has grown to measure 5ft, including a 3ft tail.<\/p>\n<p>Amazingly, the teenager revealed the lizard is friendly with the family's other pets, including cats and dogs.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;When he is really warm and has been under his bulbs for ages he has loads of energy &ndash; he can run as fast as the dog can,&quot; Mr Robson stated.<\/p>\n<p>I can only imagine the weird looks that the young man must get when he is walking down the road with Fluffy, while I imagine that many people would be very scared.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Trevor Smith<img decoding=\"async\"
