Taking to TikTok, this netizen shares why we should not disturb or kill lizards as they are doing us a world of favours, despite their fearsome demeanour.
“If you see lizards lurking around, please do not disturb or kill them,” he said.

He added, “Remember, these snakes can lay up to ten eggs at any given time.”
Whoah, we didn’t know that.
