Faced with criticism, Stefi Roitman, Ricky Montaner’s fiancĂ©e, said that the animal has all the necessary conditions to live properly. In addition, he revealed that the owner (one of his friends) had the animal since he was very young.
“She is in excellent hands. It belongs to a friend of Lele’s who has taken care of him since he was a child. He has the box in his mouth just in case, because he doesn’t know us and can bite us hard. Then they will take it “, he published next to a photo in which Pons appeared with the animal.

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, thousands of households in that country have a certain type of reptile or amphibian as a pet. Although legal, it is emphasized that these animals should not be caught in their wild. They must be purchased in specialized centers.
Among the most popular pets are lizards, turtles, frogs and snakes. The entity emphasizes that their owners should wash their hands every time they interact with these types of animals, as they can cause outbreaks of salmonella, a bacterial disease that affects the human digestive system.
