A heavyweight lizard broke his owner’s heart when he bit off his own tail but his Instagram fans have come to his rescue. 

Branden Fernando, 21, from Sacramento in California, USA was shocked to return home from work to find his Black Throat Monitor Lizard, Vader, had chewed his tail off in distress.

After three days at the vet, Vader needed more surgery costing £1,600 in bills which Branden was amazed to receive in donations from strangers- and not for the first time. 

Branden said: “My brother’s girlfriend screamed, ‘What's wrong with his tail?’ and when I saw it I was in shock we rushed to the vets 15 minutes later.

“When he became weak it broke my heart to see him like this and after seeing that money come in to save him, I knew I had to keep him alive.
