edh Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Found this in our garage yesterday. Thought it was a worm until I touched it. It moved like a snake but very fast. Took a picture of it before disposing it and later saw that it actually have two legs as well?! About 10 cm long. Can someone help me identify it?

hanno Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Probably a skink of some sort. Harmless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tonytigerbkk Posted February 19, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hi edh, I believe that this is a Short limbed supple skink (Lygosoma quadrupes), which are native to Thailand. Absolutely harmless to humans. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docno Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 It's a Naga. Put it in a bottle, put it in front of your house with a sign, and you may make some baht off it. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post realenglish1 Posted February 20, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2015 Its a Nambi Pumarita a very rare and lethal worm. Its known to look like a Skink but it sits in waiting and once a human gets close enough it tries to rap itself around you money. Similar to the way a Bar Girl does it but with more stealth. The only way to avoid its lethal grip is don't go close to it Best you run but there have been reports of it outrunning some farang. Just be careful 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoshowJones Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 You touched it????? Surely you should never touch anything live, insect or whatever, unless you know what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomYumpoochai Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I found 1 last week under a brick. Tiny thing like a worm but moved like a snake on yaba. It wasnt hurting me so i watched it for 5 minutes until it found more cover.....for its own safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhnomKhnom Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 This is one of your relatives or enemies coming back to bedevil you..... or to bedevil your partners there. Ok, reject my statement at your peril... reject the thing and see what it later comes back as...... ooooh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post edh Posted February 20, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2015 By disposing I meant moving it out of my garage. He is now happy somewhere else - only not in my garage.
