tom the tiktiki

house lizards are common throughout much of the tropical world. I saw them where i was staying in malaysia and i have one in my room here in dhaka. They have a different name in every language, but each name is an interpretation of the noise that it makes. in malaysia it's called a chichuk and here its called a tiktiki. I've named my tiktiki Tom. He comes out at night, hangs out on my ceiling, eats bugs, and makes small chirping noises.
