This little visitor stayed around a few days (a few weeks ago) but then he disappeared and I haven’t seen him since.
This little guy was no more than a 5 cm. I am actually surprised I don’t see more of these guys around. I have been surprised by 2 large lizards I have seen. One, right behind the Johor Bahru CIQ (away from the main road) was at least 2 m long and another I saw maybe 1 km away was maybe close to 750 cm (I didn’t get a good look at this one).

This is called a gecko. The Malay name for it is “cicak” – pronounced chee-chahk. It grows to about 5 to 6 inches long; it’s a very common lizard – almost every house in Malaysia will have a few.
