Heart Wrenching

What do we call the above animal? Iguana? Chameleon? Lizard? I don’t really know what is that but that creature is a PR (permanent resident) in our garden. We often see it hanging around our plants/tree but its favourite has always been the late “Love Tree”. Since it won’t do any harm, we always let it linger.

Today, as Darling was about to continue with his ‘disposal’ job of the “Love Tree”, we saw Mr. Iguana clinging onto the tree for dear life. It refused to budge even as we tried chasing it away. As sad as I am trying to recover from this lost, seeing how Mr. Iguana will lose a home saddens me more… After all, Home Is Where The Heart Is… and to Mr. Iguana, his heart might have been with this tree for sometime now :(

I hope he’ll find a better home soon..

Oh oh homeless 'tok kaye'? Hang on it could be a passing lizard probably having a great time on the termites? Even it will find its way to a new home, natural instinct!

That is a Tokek in Bahasa Malaysia, a species of chameleon. I heard the bite might be poisonous, can be aggresive if provoke. My contractor caught one for his son to play, he let it go when I told him about the poisonous bite. He got bitten when he was about to let it go…..luckily my contrator didn't KO! maybe his hand is rough after years of renovating houses…LOL!

Eyew…can't stand such creepy crawlies. Is that the variety that people eat – they call it four-legged snake in Chinese? Ewek! Ewek! Not for me!
