No House Lizard Roomies in Auckland!

Dear SG,

Now, for those who has strange fear of something so small and harmless (like my husband), it's a relieve to find out that there is no house lizard in New Zealand. What is a "house lizard"???!!!

Above is the picture I found from the internet that show the most common lizard found in homes around Singapore. They are really small and harmless, they eats flies and insects so they are actually quite useful.


True, they are a little bit creepy, they does make our hair stands when they crawl over us by mistake or accidentally falls on our head. They are cold blooded and they stick to our favorite wall or painting. But hey, they are like a pet which doesn't need us to bring them out for walks, feed them and bathe them. How cool can that be!

with love from NZ,
J

Spot the differences:
In Singapore, it's quite common to find these house pets... erm... I mean house lizards.

In Auckland, no such roomies.
