Precious lizard; Tokay Gecko


What? Now wait a minute! Was it illegal for all this time? God, I would have never known if it wasn't for today’s news.

Now, it has been quite some time that I have seen most of the people down at Samdrup Jongkhar scrambling from wall to wall looking for this precious lizard. Well I dared to ask few  about it and all I could decipher from their  hard search was that they earned quite a stack of money from just few of those small black spotted lizard.

Tozay Gecko! It has got a name too, for crying out loud. I even clicked a picture of it in my cell phone at one time and showed it my colleagues. We had a long session of talk for its value in the black market.
Word in the street is that some Indians from the nearby border would come and collect the catch with loads of money. But hunting these precious creatures isn't a walk in the park, I suppose. They had to dig all the concrete walls hunting for just a few. 

Next time you visit the Samdrup Jongkhar town, I reckon you check the walls. It’s almost finished digging. Who wouldn't right? It’s all money but should remember; it’s illegal for good.

  1. I believe the lizard thing is a rumor like many other such rumors in the past.
    next time we hate some animal we should create a rumor and people will go hunting it without verifying anything. Who actually comes up with such wild rumors? And most amazing thing is We Bhutanese are very good at spreading and accepting it.
    Thanks for sharing the picture and about poor walls in SJ ha ha ha

  4. This is how my partner Wesley Virgin's adventure launches in this SHOCKING and controversial VIDEO.

    Wesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he discovered hidden, "SELF MIND CONTROL" secrets that the CIA and others used to obtain whatever they want.

    THESE are the exact same methods tons of famous people (especially those who "come out of nowhere") and the greatest business people used to become wealthy and successful.

    You probably know that you only use 10% of your brain.

    That's really because the majority of your BRAINPOWER is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Perhaps that conversation has even occurred INSIDE OF YOUR very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head about 7 years ago, while riding an unlicensed, beat-up trash bucket of a car with a suspended driver's license and on his bank card.

    "I'm very frustrated with going through life check to check! When will I become successful?"

    You've been a part of those those types of thoughts, ain't it so?

    Your very own success story is waiting to start. All you have to do is in YOURSELF.

  5. As claimed by Stanford Medical, It is indeed the ONLY reason women in this country get to live 10 years longer and weigh on average 19 kilos lighter than us.

    (Just so you know, it has NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret exercise and really, EVERYTHING about "how" they eat.)

    P.S, I said "HOW", and not "what"...
