Stranger in a Strange Land
Monday, October 29th, 2007We have received a report, at Bio-Ken Snake Farm, of an unidentified lizard found on an upcountry farm. The lizard is medium large and sturdy in build, orange with black markings and very shiny scales.
Unfortunately the reptile escaped under the verandah, but word is out for its re-capture. It bites the hand that holds it, quite hard!
Fortunately, some good pictures were taken of the lizard. We shall send them to various colleagues who might solve its identity for us, so watch for a follow up with photographs of the lizard.
It would be great to think we have a new lizard in Kenya but there is a suspicion that it may be a hitchhiker, as a member of the household has just returned from a foreign land.
