A watchman from Ogongo village in Nyatike subcounty has taken to rearing chameleons, lizards and tortoises for consumption. Thomas Odembo, 35, said he started feeding on chameleons, lizards, tortoises, cats and dogs after working as a guard for a Chinese contractor. Odembo, a father of seven, said he has an insatiable appetite for the unconventional meat and decided to start rearing chameleons, lizards and tortoises in his house to supplement his diet. “I have lost appetite for cow and goat meat, and I am ready to supply the village,” Odembo said. “I took chameleon last night for supper, this tortoise was brought by a neighbour who found it in his shamba,” Odembo said.
