Help ! There's a little lizard or chameleon in my house. I don't know which one of us wants him outta here the most... me or him. LOL. He's so scared he's lost his ability to change color. I have hardwood floors and he's still bright green against them. FOFL. How am I gonna get rid of this critter ?

Darlin', I had the same visitor last week. I noticed that he could always be found in a spot of sunshine so I waited for a while, went to the place where light from a skylight hits the floor and there he was. I used a small trash bucket to cover him then slid a piece of cardboard underneath. Then it was just a matter of getting to the door and releasing him. Or you could take the Swervie approach and just fill him full of buckshot.

If he is one of the smooth lizards he is not a chameleon, even though he can change color. Only children and small dogs can catch them. Lotsa people buy them for the house. They eat only insects, and people who are allergic to insecticides like to have them around.

Just ignore him. Either he will eat bugs and make you happy happy, or he will starve and dry up without getting smelly, and you can sweep him out.

Oh Darlin, keep the little fellow! He will help keep the bugs out. If you don't want him. maybe MO could use him!
