Tegu Lizard Noodles Finds Home After Fire | Reno News

A four-foot tegu lizard named Noodles went missing during a wildfire evacuation, sparking a frantic search for his owner Candace Cox — who had to flee her Nevada home with 23 pets, including chickens and dogs, crammed into dog crates. After days of searching through desert terrain and hoping for warmth in the cold, Candace found Noodles curled up in a garage corner. Just hours later, her neighborhood’s evacuation order lifted — and all her animals, including the reptilian star, were safely reunited. The Bug Fire, which merged with another blaze, scorched over 130,000 acres, destroyed homes, and forced school closures across the region.
