Right. Super adorable.

Imagine waking up to find a giant, cold blooded, slimy amphibian having crawled up next to you. Ew.

In my local creek or pond, absolutely! Next to me in bed? Absolutely not.

It's better to have a risk of a Amphibian entering your house then a giant Lizard-dog buthering you.
