TRAVEL + LEISURE / MARCH 2015The mother of a family approached
the guest services team in great
panic one day after spotting an
alligator near the outdoor pool. The
team rushed over to the pool with her
and she pointed them to the bushes. After
the team approached the area cautiously
and pushed the leaves away with a stick,
they saw a small house lizard on the
wall. After catching the lizard and taking
it away, the team explained to the guest
that house lizard is a common sight in
Singapore, and in the tropical regions.
The guest was thankful for the help and
for the introduction to Singapore’s most
commonly spotted reptile.
