Nick's painted a messy picture with his detailed account on Facebook about how he caught the lizard.

"It had clearly already been there by the wifi, as it left a big [defecation] which my arm got dragged through while pulling it out. It had defecated in a few parts of the office, hence the smell."

This inspired some peeps to make gest of Nick's affinity to wearing casual sandals, flip-flops.

Inspired into sharing her ordeal with monitor lizards, Glendyr Roberts said:

"Mmm, we had a 2nd one in our garden last week. The border collie cried and I ran out. Think it either bit her snout or whipped her. I called the vet and just watched her for signs. She kept rubbing her nose and mouth.The jack russel was braver and tried to attack and grab the lizard but it managed to escape through a hole in the garden wall."
