A Nigerian man who was probably freshly awake for the day's hustle was stunned when he saw this rare reptile wandering around his bed space.
The skink
This colourful reptile called a Skink was killed this morning in a man's room as it strolled around.
The social media user in question claims he was scared when he spotted it and had to go for a big shoe close to him to take it out. He later researched about the rare reptile and found out its called a skink. It's not clear if the skink is harmful.
Skinks are lizards belonging to the family Scincidae and the infraorder Scincomorpha. With more than 1,500 described species, the Scincidae are one of the most diverse families of lizards.
