Man Found Lizard Eggs Beneath Wall Sockets; Comments About it Are More Eggciting Instead

Imagine this: One day, you’re alone at home and something short-circuited.

Deciding to do some fixing of your own, you open up the electrical outlet that you suspect is having an issue, only to realised that it’s filled with eggs.

Lizard eggs.

That was what happened to Facebook user Deon Bean, who shared his experience on the social media platform.

Man Found Lizard Eggs Beneath Wall Sockets

On 14 Dec 2020, a man’s DIY-experience-gone-wrong was uploaded onto Facebook group SG Hacks: Repairs, Fixes & Cool Hacks.

In the caption of the post, Bean said that he was changing switches and sockets last week for his mother-in-law when he came across the scene above.

At first, he didn’t realise what they were and only got it after a minute of inspection.

Turns out, there were at least 10 unhatched eggs in the socket, together with shells from several hatched eggs.

Bean was not as disgusted with his finding as the eggs which hatched have dried up.

Comments About it Are More Eggciting Than Surprised

As of the time of writing, the post has garnered quite a few shares and reactions.

While some netizens behaved in a way that’s understandable:

Some couldn’t resist this rare opportunity to make some fun.

A few were excited to find out what he has planned for the eggs, including cooking them

Getting some new pets for the home

One even elaborated on the benefit of having some crack lizard troopers at your side

As it turns out, this occurrence, while uncommon, isn’t exactly rare.

A netizen shared how she had the same experience as well:

Lizard Infestation

According to Rentokil, finding lizard eggs may be a sign of a lizard infestation in your own home.

Do not try and remove the eggs yourself and engage pest control experts instead as baby lizards could still be alive within the unhatched eggs.

Female lizards can lay up to 20 eggs in a single time and not all eggs will hatch successfully.

It usually takes 40 to 60 days for a lizard egg to hatch and even the smallest holes can kill the baby lizard within.

Also, while you can remove the eggs you find, it’ll be a better choice to get experts in to find all possible lizard hiding spots within your home so you won’t wake up to an unpleasant surprise on a Monday morning.
