    Great ideas man. Its good to encourage people herping to try to teach them how to do it in the safest way possible for the animals.

    I have a brown anole in my house that is too fast to catch. I gave up and started feeding her.

    I like catching these lizards by hand. I catch at least a brown anole every day with my bare hands. My method is by sneaking up to them, try to get your hand as close as possible to them, then strike.

    I wait from them to slow down or stop moving for a bit, then catch them by the torso, and another tip is block them by putting your hand in front of them

    I catch the anoles with a fishing pole and a loop in the clear fishing line. Put the loop over the head and then pick up...sometime they will run wich also catches them. It does not hurt them and I have watched Scientist catch them this way. After a few times you will get better at it.

  • @cool_kat_thing
    @cool_kat_thing 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    There are many green anoles and five-lined skinks in my area, and I catch them really easy, their tail isn’t very supervised because “oh I just detach it” but i can lightly pin its upper tail and kinda just pick it up. The skinks are a little snappy but no teeth lol. I have a green anole rn but I might own a skink sometime. My green anole is affectionate and likes being handled. (he jumps on my hand when I feed him or clean his cage)

    While catching lizards you should also wear gloves so if they do bite you (idk they can) the gloves will make it painless.

    They are usually hanging around my walls, so I just catch them by first just approaching it slowly, I do it till the tiny reptile isnt that scared anymore. Afterwards, I proceed to grab it gently by the torso, BE VERY CAREFUL!! they are very tiny and hard to not just accidentally squish them.

    I am trying to catch a lizard in my house before he starves or my cat gets it. I hope its not poisonous I am scared of it and its scared of me. Its a small wild lizard about the size of your green lizard but its not green its dark gray with a stripe I think but it moves too fast to tell for sure. Its probably a native wild lizard and this is northern Calif. Sacramento Valley. Maybe somebody knows. Is it poisonous? I'll catch it by the tail if its not poisonous IF I CAN.
