Do you about the famous or not-so-famous Indian lizards. Whenever I see people taking about lizards - it is mostly the big ones, the colorful ones and the lazy ones. The other day, I was talking to someone on steemit where they just knew about the big lizards, nothing about the Indian House Lizards.
Today I will show you the Indian Lizards.
Where do they come from in our houses?
Honestly that is a mystery. My mother and all the elders say they lives inside the walls. If you visit my house and inspect it, you won't find any single hole anywhere in the walls, door. But we still see lizards in houses. So yes it is a mystery about how do they get in the wall and come out of the walls.
A little about our relationship with Indian House Lizards
People in India are really scared of these little lizards. You will see some girls shouting when they see a lizard. Once I was out with my friends, we made a stop at a little road side cafe while travelling to hills. A girl and I were going to washroom, she came out shouting so bad that I got scared. On asking she told me there is a lizard inside. But then we switched the washroom and I went into the one with lizard. So its like 50-50, she shouted and I did not. My sister shouts, I don't. Mostly, people are not friendly to the lizards.
Some specifications about the house Lizards
They are mostly black in color if they are little ones - the baby lizards. When they grow up, they turn into cream\pale colored lizards. I have naver heard lizards biting anyone. Most times if you shout at them or do some kind of body movement - they would run. But I have heard Lizards piss on people when they are sleeping, the consequences are mild skin allergies.
Here enjoy some pictures of baby lizard and mama lizard.
I spotted the baby lizards at one of my terrace walls. She was running quickly. I think the baby lizards gets scared easily, the mam lizards does not run away that easily - they are way too confident and bold to get shooed away.
I spotted mama lizards at the backside of the washroom door. I have clicked a picture and marked a red circle to give an idea of its size.
