OMG, this is a first! And I thought I've had it all with reptiles and scary animals. A Draco volans, or flying dragon, soared straight into my mom's room during today's storm! She thought it was one of those changeable lizards ("iguanas" as the ignorant primary school kids called them, no doubt the product of idiotic parents) but after I caught the creature up I was highly surprised. The poor thing was very shaken (heard Brownie barking at it some minutes ago) and didn't even struggle when I picked it up.

I've only ever seen 1 of these before, and it was at a good distance away, gliding from tree to tree. Did a quick Google on it, they are almost obligatory ant-eaters and captive breeding efforts have been dismal, so the poor guy will just stay for a picture, a freak show for YX and my sisters, and just 1 empirical try at feeding it, and then off it goes back into the wild tomorrow morning. I know I can't keep this baby alive.

Wish she (appears to be female) would lay some eggs before I let her go though, it would be such a sweet thing to care for the babies after the exams.
