Reptiles have invaded our hostel - UNTH student shares photo

From a LIB reader who is a student of University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu
"Recently we started seeing these reptiles in our hostel at UNTH Enugu old site (school of perioperative nursing hostel ). From what my course mates are saying this is the baby, the bigger ones come out only once in a while. We now move around with sticks and matches at night in case of any attack."

      @ anon 9:22pm, dats Unth for real. I stayed there for five years. Did my nursing and midwifery there so I knw every nook and cranny. Dat place is d front of midwifery hostel (former theatre b4 unth moved to perm site as u can see dat d passage is sloppy to aid wheeling patients into d theatre wit trolley)and peri-operative nursin hostel is just by d side. Most of the buildings was converted to hostels. So dis story it's real.

      @Anonymous 9:22p.m, I beg to differ. I can state here authoritatively that they do exist in Nigeria. I served in south-south Bayelsa (akassa to be precise) over a decade ago...and siting iguanas,pythons n several other reptiles was pretty much a daily occurrence...even more frequent if u venture out often.

      Anonymous shut up! We had a monitor lizard that lived in our roof in Enugu for 8 years. Yes.
      The other ones went away with their mother. It hatched late. Don't even ask me where it came from. When it got too big to climb the roof it went away (it ate uo all the rats, and didn't give us any problems, it was a pet, scary one).
      In Ihembosi Anambra, these creatures exist too! To buttress my fact that they exist in Nigeria, it has an Igbo, hausa and yoruba name. Our people do not name non existent creatures or things. They exist in the north and south too(it has an Ijaw name). Better luck next time in leading people astray anony :)

    That is a monitor lizard. It is not harmful to humans and will eat eggs, smaller reptiles, fish, crickets, fruit etc. There is no reason to fear or attack them. They are an endangered species so please don't kill them. We don't value species extinction in Nigeria but let's start now.
