The scorpion needs a handicapped toilet now.

Haha, looks like the Sia's are being targetted by little creatures lately. (Joel's car had a snake tangled in its tires).

Monitor lizard lah... very good to eat ah...

I saw one tt was like 2 meters long during my army days...

Man... must see to believe... never thought I'll be afraid of a lizard...

*scrunch*

Yuck... Step those creatures, Kenny!

Hi Kenny,

I've been reading your blog for quite some time, but this is my first time leaving a comment.

I mentioned the same thing on my web last year: that living in Perlis (my hometown) is like watching the Discovery Channel comes to life sometimes. There used to be a swamp at the back of our house. I've seen countless King Cobras in my home - in the kitchen mostly, once under the sofa. Our pet rabbits & possibly a pigeon had been swallowed by some. I've also seen a mongoose fighting a King Cobra outside my house when I was small. Syiok wooo! Guess who won the battle? The ever swift mongoose, of course! There used to be giant-sized lizards too, almost as big as crocodiles.

Maybe the poor scorpion was attacked by the huge ass lizard and escape to the city and the HAL went looking for it =P

nice to know you didn't squish the scorpion with the wheel...... or did you?
haha!

soak the scorpion into tuak/sake/or whiskey
good for man i heard

The scientific name should be Varanus salvator, not HugeAnus Lizardicus.

But still it is close to Var"anus". ;)

Wah lan eh tt scorpion damn jia lat, ur dog must have been really full/ sadistic. Eat also nvr eat up, juz bite off arm the happy liao.And tt lizard is so damn big. I think its a monitor lizard too, not tt type normal ones you find in hdb flats in sg. lol Skyjuice, if corbras raided ur home then how did you get it out> With a snake charmer? So dangerous after you sleeping one day a cobra bite your ass and you die of a pain in the ass. XD

Jonj, snake charmer? No-lah. My dad and neighbour got them out with long sticks. Neighbour was in the army and dad used to work in the agriculture line all over Peninsular, so, they're used to reptiles and wild animals. Hmm... maybe they could train as snake charmers hor? Anyways, those incidents happened in the past. I haven't seen a snake at home in a looooong time & I pray that I don't see any soon! My Thai great grandfather passed away because of a snake bite.

you're nice.. but we all know that. (:
most people would had just ran it over.

Kenny, perhaps I can interest you with the dickosaurus python behind my house? No? Then how about a HugeAnus Lizardicus? As big as a juvvie croc. Don't want either? Here, have this king cobra.

cool. the scorpian own u one.

oooh. i noticed a brown twig or smething. u poke it or smething to get it to move?

send you an ang pow eh? I wish i had thought up that idea for my own blog...

living in alor setar the same.. like watching discovery channel, sometime have snake, sometime have croc..

but the picture u took looks like "four legs snake"

Btw, saw Hejin's post about Kuching? She was told by her teacher that there's Coral Reefs in Kuching...is there?

glad that you didnt smash the scorpion with your car...^^

Those nasties! @$%#$@^#CRUSH@$@THEM!@@$#%!

Wah Pian Eh! What kind of place you live? Shooting National Geographic no need go so far liao... he he...

What a feast for your dog. Good omen,

what;s CBD ?!

it looks like u edited in 1 lei...

Wah. This kind of things people like me wish to see but never get to see...

As some of the earlier commentors mentioned, it's a monitor lizard, either a water monitor Varanus salvator or clouded monitor Varanus bengalensis nebulosus. Both grow to pretty big sizes, about 2 metres or so max.

And the poor scorpion... So how dod you get rid of it? If it's any consolation, most scorpions we have in Malaysia and Singapore quite harmless one; you kena sting will feel damn pain, but won't die one, machiam like bee sting like that.

"Boss! Sorry I'm super late. A KNN scorpion was sleeping under my tyres!"... nah, does not sound good enuf. just say you had diarrhea. :P

HugeAnus Lizardicus vs Varanus bengalensis nebulosus....hahaha!~

mebbe ur boss reads ur blog...that'll make things clear XD

Well, K.K. and Hai~Ren got in before me, but I was going to say it's a monitor lizard of some sort, and it looks like K.K. and Hai~Ren know the scientific names and everything.

Yeah, it was in the CBD looking for a job as a pest exterminator. Specialty Scorpion Removal. He was tracking some varmite he had winged in a shoot out. Have you seen a bad ass scorpion in the region?
Should be wearing black, with a black hat and his been shot in the claw.
Seen him lah?

Gross.

Wohoo..you are sure in some exotic species luck lei.. =P

So what happen to the poor sorpion? Did you keep it as a pet or made it into squashed scorpion for CNY eve dish? *pukez* =P~~~

seems like the scorpion that lost it's arm doesn't believe that it's life is worth living anymore after losing a limb. haha. it's just asking for it.

I think the scorption sad after lost its arm to ur dog ... trying to commit suicide la ... so wat happened to it in the end?

I know the fry those things for snacks in north Thailand.

Kung hei fat choy !!!!

I don't kill animals one lah, especially those that has lost one of its limbs.

just run the scorpion over and put it outta its misery lah. the huge ass lizard is called a monitor lizard aka biawak i think.

Gong Xi Fa Cai

I usually say a little prayer for them when they are injured or dying. Don't think it helps but at least I feel better.
