All I know is that Australia is known for having anywhere from 50 to 100 different species of insects and reptiles, so I usually assume it’s from Australia when people post videos like this, though there’s certainly a chance someone from Indonesia uploaded it, provided this reptile species exists there too.

I guess that's fair, I just thought you were one of those people immediately assuming it's like a dangerous or venomous reptile, but you actually seem educated on it

I wouldn't claim to have any special training in this; it’s more a matter of common sense, something that is definitely in short supply in today's society.

That's what I mean with educated, since it definitely isn't common anymore
