It is about time too. We have taken their habitat, their food sources and pushed them further away until there is not much left for them. We have locked them up for our pleasure, or for them to serve us. At last, at least for a few months more anyway, the tables have been turned. It is their turn to roam free while we are locked up.
It was a nice surprise to see this huge monitor lizard just resting in the hot sun in our back yard. It was as big as a komodo dragon. Thank God there was a fence to keep it out.

We never "kill" any of the wild life, just let them move in their own space.

We live beside a small
rubber estate so these lizards, monkeys and snakes are common. In fact, we have
our own resident junior monitor lizard who lives in our garden. It basks on the rocks in the sun (fantastic camouflage with the rocks) every afternoon and this drives Thory crazy.
Savvy K christened it Bobbi (probably after a past boyfriend ...haha.. joking Savvy K, I know you occasionally sneak into my blog).
Thory tries to be friends and looks out for Bobbi every day at
the same place. In 2005, an article in New Scientist, a Science and Technology magazine, reported that monitor
lizards produce venom, contrary to past belief that their bites only cause
bacterial infections.
OK Thory, you cannot be besties with Bobby. I suggest a long
distance relationship. But he won't listen!!
