This is the touching moment a man feeds a wild lizard - which takes food straight from his hand.

Eric Fahrni held out the dried worm snack for the reptile which he had seen in his garden in Chonburi, eastern Thailand.

Footage shows how the tiny critter walked over nervously before grabbing the food in its mouth.

Eric said: ''I didn't pet the lizards or force them, they just came over to me. Every time I notice a lizard I feed it worms and it comes to see me. I like the animals being free in my garden.''
