You really do have a bad habit of shooting your mouth off about things you understand poorly. The people here were suggesting he/she let this animal go and buy a captive bred baby for reasons other than personal profit. I did not see a single one of them say that they were a breeder. Even if they were, at $40 a pop they're hardly going to make anyone rich, are they. The reasons for letting this one go and getting a captive bred individual instead, are:
1. It is illegal to take reptiles out of the wild
2. It is cruel to take an animal out of the wild and force it into the confines of captivity. That's the reason it isn't 'taming' down. No, one is not doing the animal a favour by 'saving' it from the wild.
3. It is probably an adult or close to adult size. If the O.P. buys a captive bred baby it will grow up around people and consequently cope better with both people and the concept of captivity itself as an adult
4. Captive bred babies are parasite free and of good health. Wild caught reptiles often languish in captivity because the stress of being held in captivity reduces their resistance and the parasites already in their system start taking over.

ian do you have a website/blog or facebook page dedicated to lizzy ?

No but I did briefly give some consideration to setting up a FB page for Lizzy a while ago and I decided against - FB IMO is more bother than it's worth and I'm not a fan of FB.
I have a private facebook page but I use it only to stay intouch with family and never accept friend requests from strangers.

PS don't worry about the negative comments from the purists and breeders who wnt to make some money by getting you let your lizard go and buying another lizard.

Oh my god. You dont get it do you? Its ILLEGAL to keep a wild reptile. Theyre not telling him to let it go so theyll make money. Theyre saying it because its ILLEGAL to take a wild reptile from the wild and keep it and big fines apply if the person is caught.
Theres no arguing with the law.
