We did something similar in 8th grade, except it was an 8th grade teacher’s VW and it was lifted up over the school yard fence and put it in the rectory backyard. We wanted it to go into the convent backyard, but there wasn’t enough time or volunteers to get it that far - we did it during lunch.

A friend has an Anole, a Night Gecko and a fence lizard as pets.

They scarf up the crickets she gives them.

That’s pretty mild.

In my school we bit pop-tarts in to gun shapes. The whole state was on lock down for 8 weeks while we were imprisoned, tortured, and re-educated about the horrors of guns. ;-)

7th grade...repatriated 13 baby Garter snakes into the school hallway.
8th grade....hoisted underwear and bras up flagpole at nighttime after confiscating them from girls locker room during first hour...
10 grade....acetylene/oxygen/helium bomb detonated over school with two M-80’s.
11th grade...stole a 10’ tall chicken from local restaurant along with lifesized cow from a farmers home roof along with a Big Boy mascot and mounted to school roof.
12th grade....organized 300 person on campus party complete with kegs of beer 3 days before graduation. Sherriff dept conceded and allowed us to stay all night as long as nobody left and we cut multiple bonfires down to one. I miss high school. Bring back 1985!

A nest of baby dragons could clear the crickets in minutes. Then they’d mostly eat each other, leaving no cleanup for the staff.

What on earth is a “blue-gree abvenva”? I think you mean a green ameiva. Herper here.

I have a lot more small lizards than that, and they would have enjoyed a cricketfest in the school. But I would not have allowed them to partake, because the crickets could certainly have come into contact with toxic cleaning compounds and stuff like that.

Very true.

For the same reason, I do not offer any wild rodents to my snakes.

I have no idea where they’ve been.

Some students at the high school I used to teach at released some large crickets in the hall. Of course, knowing I kept lizards, my vindictive chairman accused ME of bringing them to school and somehow they got out. Sure, teachers release crickets into the halls of schools all the time, right? I pointed out that all my species of lizards are small, and therefore do not eat large crickets, so I wouldn’t have bought large crickets, right? That shut him up.

I’m glad you’re no longer there.

The chairman sounds like a jerk.

My friend’s lizards eat those tiny little pale crickets, not the big black “real” crickets.

The chairman WAS a jerk. When a friend of mine, who raised daphnia on a diet of algae to feed his fish, brought some daphnia to the school to save us money from having to order them from a biological supply company, this idiot confronted him at the security guard's desk, screaming, "Do not let this man bring that jar into the school! They were raised on dung!" Having never visited my friend's home, how did the chairman "know" that the daphnia were raised on "dung"? What a total idiot. And he was actually foaming at the mouth, he was so het up about the daphnia. Just happened that I was standing there in the hall conversing with the union rep, who was a friend of mine. She saw it all. This man also accused me of stealing the life-support equipment of the school's leopard geckos and fish---when it was on my own unreimbursed dime that these and the other school animals had been living for years, and I had much better, nicer lights, pumps, etc. at home anyway. He was a real jerk, you are totally correct.

My plebe year at The Citadel, my roomie and I discovered that an upperclassman who gave us a ton of grief every-fricking-day, had a bug phobia.

Thus we pooled our resources and bought dozens of crickets at a bait shop. About 0300 hours, we set them loose in his room and tied his door shut. His screams were music to our ears. Lost his voice for a week and changed rooms to a different floor from us.

4 years later when we graduated, we could still hear crickets in the battalion quarters.
