I think it was hunting rats under the house, so it is very welcome to visit.As long as it is not dangerous to humans, let it live. All things have a purpose in nature.

I’m in Sumatra, Indonesia. That’s an Asian Water Monitor.![]()
Where do you live? There are a lot of different lizards.
There’s not much chance of keeping away from them - there are lots of them here. The chickens know to keep their distance, and the monitors keep away from humans so there’s not much to worry about. But they will eat eggs if they can find them, which is why we keep our nestboxes on our terraces until I can build a secure barn for my chickens.I'd keep my kids and chickens far away from them. A Water Monitor will take chickens as they are carnivores. Their bite is nasty and painful and easily infected. A 5 to 7 foot lizard can hurt you.
