Lizard Gets Stuck in a Booby Trap Inside an NTU Dorm – Singapore News

When a Silicone Cover Turns into a Lizard’s Home

What went down

Picture this: a regular day at NTU, a student named Hibye flips through her shelf looking for her trusty nipple covers. She’s like, “Where’s the missing one?” when she spots something sticky on her table—an unexpected little reptile with a 100‑percent adhesive purchase from her cover.

The Sticky Situation

  • Discovery: The lizard, whether male or female, had landed on a piece of silicone and stuck to it, wedged between the router and lamp.
  • Immediate Reaction: Hibye filmed the entire drama on TikTok (two vids, each about a minute long), sharing the moment with her followers.
  • Audience: The clips blew up, racking up over 100,000 views and more than 100 comments. Apparently, internet users love a good lil‑creature drama.

Trying to Rescue Our Froggy Friend

The lizard appeared to be in an undead‑like “unblinking” stare. Hibye didn’t want to hurt it—she shifted the lamp and router just to get a better angle, all while keeping her composure. After 20 minutes of effort, the lizard wiggle‑dipped to confirm it was still alive!

Commentators were amazed at how calm she stayed throughout the whole ordeal. “She managed a stern look while pulling out a living lizard from her cover,” one fan noted.

How She Managed the Extraction

  • Step 1: Move the lamp.
  • Step 2: Shift the router.
  • Step 3: Gently pull the lizard away from the sticky surface.
  • Step 4: Celebrate, because you just saved a tiny furry (actually, scaly) life save!
TL;DR

A slick piece of adhesive had become a lizard’s unexpected habitat. A student filmed, saved, and wowed the internet—all in under 15 minutes. The proud, stoic selfie now serves as a reminder: household gadgets can attract more wildlife than you expect.

Meet the Great “Nipple Sticker” Escape Artist

Picture a dorm-room laundry scene, but replace the tumblers with a stealthy lizard and a sticky adventure that feels straight out of a TikTok prank.

The Quest for the Ninja Gecko

She slips on a pair of latex gloves – because safety comes first – and gently cradles the oddly designed nipple cover. In the background, the laundry room hums like a secret lobby where the only thing left is the mission: keep that lizard alive and free.

Skillful Extraction

The trick? Differentiate between the sticky mask and the lizard it somehow enamored. With a pencil (a makeshift scalpel), she carefully lifts the lizard away from the adhesive, ensuring the creature’s life remains unscathed. Talk about a job well done!

Lights, Camera, Gecko!

According to the National Parks Board, the resident’s little buddy is nothing more than a common house gecko – the city’s unwelcome yet harmless companion.

Why She’s a Real Geek of the Green World
  • Large, lidless eyes that miss nothing.
  • A massive inner toe clutching a powerful claw (think of it as a tiny dynamo).
  • Typically a subway‑brown hue, sometimes streaked with darker patches.

All in all: a quick, canine‑free rescue mission in a place that could have held an entire harmony of fermented laundry detergent and the quiet hum of a dryer. The result? A happy lizard and a story that’d make even the most skeptical TikTok audience double‑tap for the next chapter.
