This lizard appeared to have bitten off more than it could chew after it grabbed hold of a giant millipede.
The blue and orange Tokay gecko bit the eight-inch-long insect by its tail after seeing it crawling along a wall in Chonburi, Thailand, at 4 PM on September 4.
Passer-by Wuttipong Jansamut, 40, noticed the unusual scene after finishing work at a nearby factory and started recording.
He said the reptile looked to be struggling with the insect but even after a two-minute long stalemate it would not release the creepy-crawly.
Wuttipong said: ''I did not want to touch them. I stayed back. I've never seen a millipede this big, and definitely not with a gecko.
''I needed to get home so I didn't stop to find out how it ended. I'm not sure who won the battle. That is a mystery.''
The Tokay gecko is nocturnal but can appear in the early evening. It is native to Asia and feeds on insects and small vertebrates.
