Well spotted!
Intransitive
Yikes! I’d start wearing steel-toed slippers if cobras could wander into my kitchen.
Interesting story, @1. So in America, when you have an emergency, you call 911 — it looks as if Taiwan has the numerals in the opposite order? Is this because they’re nearly antipodes? (facetious)
Cool little critter. Looks a bit like a skink of which we have lots here. Nice photos.
If looking for lizards you could also always look up as there’s one little lizard in the sky :

Not the brightest or largets of constellations to put it mildly but it does have the honour of containing the one red dwarf star that’s theoretically and very occassionally visible to the unaided eyee when it flares. (EV Lacertae see : https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/the-red-dwarf-that-roared )
As well as the prototype (?) of a class of object at the opposite end of the astronomical scale -massive distant quasar-like galaxies once mistaken for a type of variable star -- BL Lacertae. ( See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BL_Lacertae_object FWIW. Scientific American may have a better article on them but sadly been paywalled.)
I just love the second photo.
