Remember you can also update your spotting with scientific name and some information about the species!

You're welcome Sean, glad I could help :)
SeanWeekly
He is not from the zoo, as they do not have these species in the zoo. Maybe your right maybe he was dumped. He did look pretty lost when I saw him! Thanks for the ID!
Carolina
I'm confused too, but maybe it is a zoo animal. Or maybe victim of illegal pet trade and someone set him free?
SeanWeekly
I have searched and yes she has nailed the ID spot on, Thanks Carolina. I am confused how he ended up in Singapore, the web says he is native to islands around Indonesia. Maybe he is a good swimmer ;)

Lost and bewildered from his looks. :-)
