That's what I thought. I'll probably have to get my dad involved too to get the lizard freed, and it will be a huge fight (my bro is 17, not a little child, but his maturity level certainly is below what it should be). I don't think he could keep it alive even if he DID try. He is not good with pets. When he had turtles he had to be threatened and nagged to take care of them at times, and when we had rats I had to take care of them.

I'm glad I have your opinion to help convince my father that the lizard should be put back, thank you.
