Today a Thai man walked into his bathroom to find a large monitor lizard hanging out on his toiletry shelves at his home outside of Bangkok.

 

Kimkhun Likitwattanaset, 81, who lives in Samut Songkhram, said he was saying prayers when he heard a loud bang come from his bathroom today, so he went to inspect.

 

But when he opened the door, he found a two-meter-long monitor lizard “clinging onto his bathroom wall like a gecko.”

Yes, I hear ya.

I would try to figure out how the fellow got in...next time it could be a King Cobra !

poor old lizard...probably got spooked and was trying to find a way out...they are timid creatures...

 

d'ye think that it was trying to take a shower? 

 

('hmm...this shampoo will not do at all...')

 

 

Biggest lizard he has ever seen! 

LUNCH!!!!!!

 

Ka-Ching!!!!!

...and this was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. (*Thai national anthem can be heard in the background*)

Better than having a python or large gecko taking a bath in the toilet and not turning the light on and sitting down with your "gonads" angling as a snack!

A former colleague of mine who has a house near a nature reserve in Singapore found a monkey in his bathroom looking for food one morning.  Apparently he bit a bar of soap, threw it down while spitting it out, and saw himself out through the window.

I think it is a KC. On second thought too many legs.  When he has rested perhaps he will get back in his minibus .

Funny that this story made it to the "world news".

Heard it today on a German radio and seen in misc. German online sites.
