JAKARTA - Not all animals are suitable for pets, let alone venomous animals, which, if kept without adequate knowledge and facilities, can cause people who keep them to be injured and even die, such as this man.

Chris Ward, 34, from Colorado, United States, died after being bitten by a venomous large lizard known as the crazy monster he kept illegally, according to officials of Lakewood City on the outskirts of Denver.

Ward had two reptiles and fell ill after his hand was bitten by one of the animals, according to an incident report from the Lakewood Police Department, quoted by CNN on February 21.

Ward's girlfriend called 911 before midnight on February 12, after she entered the room where the reptile was stored and found one of them had "sticked to Ward's hand," LPD Animal Control officer Leesha Crookston wrote in his report. After that, Ward then started showing symptoms from the animal bite, vomiting several times before fainting and his breath stopped, the report said.

Ward's girlfriend told Crookston he didn't know exactly what caused the bite because it was in a different room at the time, but he heard Ward say something he didn't sound right, according to the report.

Ward was then rushed to a local hospital, where he was given life aid help before later "it was declared brain dead," according to the report.

He was later pronounced dead on February 16, LPD Public Information Officer John Romero told CNN, while the cause of death had not yet been released.

Ward's girlfriend said that a lizard that bit Ward named Winston and Ward bought it at a reptile show in Denver in October, when the reptile was about one year old, according to the report. The second Crazy Monster, named Potato, was bought as a hatchling from a farmer in Arizona in November.

Crookston told Ward's girlfriend that having a Crazy monster in the city of Lakewood was illegal, the report said.

The capitals were moved from Ward's home after the incident by Crookston and officials from the Colorado Park and Wildlife as well as the Department of Natural Resources.

Officials plan to relocate the lizard to an animal park in South Dakota, according to the report.

Apart from being crazy monsters, as many as twenty-six spiders from different species that Ward kept in the terarium were also removed from his residence.

It is known, crazy monsters are the largest lizard in the United States and the length can reach about 22 inches, according to the National Zoo. These reptiles mainly live in North Mexico and several southwestern states of Uncle Sam's country, including Arizona, California, and New Mexico.

Crazy monster poison is just as toxic as the western diamond back-trik snake poison, Myr said. Although these reptiles can withstand their bite for more than 10 minutes, they can produce relatively small amounts when doing so.

"There is no antivenom yet for the bite of a Crazy monster," said the San Diego Zoo, noting that Crazy monster bites hurt but rarely caused death.

"Gigian monster Crazy is very strong, and the lizard may not let go of its grip for a few seconds," said the San Diego Zoo.

"Mungkin bahkan dikuyah sehingga menghituk lebih dalam dalam luka," tambahnya.

Meanwhile, Jefferson's Regional Examining Office has not responded to CNN's request for comment on the cause of Ward's death, whether he died because he could be the reptile.
