KEDAH: Hearing a scraping sound while putting up the curtains in the living room, a housewife was shocked to see that a monitor lizard had roamed into the house.
More horrifyingly, the reptile quickly moved to the adjoining bedroom and crawled up to where her two-month-old baby was sleeping.
"I quickly rushed to the bed to pick up my child and panicked when I saw traced of blood on the little girl's head," said Nor Faizah Aziz, 27, when relating the incident which occured at 11.30am on Tuesday at her house in Pendang, Kedah.
Her family called the local Civil Defence Corps to catch the 5kg reptile while she rushed to a clinic to have little Eryna Insirah Mohd Redzuan, who had scratches and light injuries on her head, treated.
Pendang civil defence operations chief Izzudin Inus Meah said it took them five minutes to trap the scaly intruder which vomited out a kitten before it was caught.
He said the lizard would be handed over to the wildlife department, adding that it was a rare case since the corps had mainly dealt with snakes slithering into home previously.
