Asian
leaf turtle - Cyclemys dentata

If you
find a Tokay (Gekko gecko, Vietnamese: Tac Ke) in your room
- do not be alarmed - it is looking for insects to eat and is considered
to be lucky by many in the region. They can grow quite large (up
to 400 mm) and the onomatopoeic name is from the mating call,
which can often be heard in the forest.

Indochinese
tree Agama Calotes mystaceus

Another Agamid lizard (Aphaniotus?)
