An interesting side-effect to living in a warm tropical country is that you have strange wildlife. I've seen monkeys raiding my campsite and spiders as big as your hand. But that's in the mountains. In the city, it's the same as everywhere: the occasional rat, cockroaches, and birds.
But our apartment is currently host to a couple of small lizards. You can see them at night on the outside walls of buildings that are bathed in insect-attracting light. They sometimes make it indoors. They're about the size of a gigantic cockroach, so I'm always startled to see one, but I don't kill them, because I know they eat the other bugs in the apartment. Also, it seems wrong to kill a lizard with a shoe.
And apparently, one of them has brought its children indoors, because I saw a tiny one sliding along the bedroom wall last night. Like I said, I can put up with the lizards, but if it turns into an infestation, that will be a bit much.
