Monster in my bedroom

[Simon43]

No, this isn't a continuation of my 'please pass the penis' thread.

Relaxing yesterday evening in my hotel room, idly watching a small lizard running across the wall above the TV.


Suddenly a fcuking great monster appears from behind the TV, shoots up the wall and grabs the poor lizard, and then retreats behind the TV to eat it.




This monster is of course, a Tookay lizard. It is quite a big one, and now I understand who has been eating my prepacked chicken slices that I leave overnight next to the TV.


Unlike Tookays that I've encountered in Thailand, this one is a silent bastard, operating in stealth mode.


Nevertheless, I didn't get much sleep last night. Every time that I almost nodded off, I would open one eye and the Tookay would be stuck on the opposite wall, watching me......


Now I don't mind Tookays living behind the fridge in a kitchen. But I'm not so sure about sharing my most intimate moments with this scaly monster.


I'm not going to try to catch it - Tookays can give a nasty bit when served with an eviction notice. I'll have to ask the hotel pest control guy to help, (and I hope he does a better job than when he tried to catch the small brown mouse 2 weeks ago with a big pair of soft gloves).


Funny, he never caught that mouse, but it seems to have disappeared now.

The Tookay looks well-fed
