Spiderlizard is on the lookout for crime

Exotic animal seller Karen Baker said orders on the WEB are surging for the blue and red lizards. They come from African countries, including Kenya, and live for more than 15 years.

She said: “We’ve sold out. We should get another batch in October. The demand just keeps going up and up.”

And Rich Nunn, 35, of Birmingham’s Nostalgia and Comics, was amazed by the resemblance. He said: “It is unbelievably similar.”
