Hollywood Ending (Florida Style)

Peppie Tandhascetti found a surprise in her Hollywood, Fla., home. She “went to use the commode, opened up the lid, and there was what I thought was an alligator in there,” she said. The “alligator” turned out to be an iguana that animal experts believe got in through a roof vent, and when it got stuck tried to get out through the largest possible opening — the toilet. Tandhascetti took a video. “What are you doing in my toilet?” Tandhascetti asked the iguana on the video. “Come on, get out of there and go home.” Seconds later, the iguana crawled out of the toilet and walked out the door. “You never use the commode the same way again ever,” Tandhascetti said. “You always look in there and check it out.” (MS/WPLG Miami) ...If she hadn’t checked, think about how horrifying it would have been for the iguana.
