Question

Does any one no how to catch a lizard?

Answer 1

u dont u leave them be. any catching of lizards (even to let them go) is very stressful on them. and never ever keep a wild lizard its cruel kills many and those that live have behavior and health issues

Answer 2

I find the best strategy is to hold your left hand way out and wiggle your fingers to distract the lizard. They don't have good peripheral vision, so if it focuses on that left hand it won't see what you're doing. Now, with your right hand, come up right behind him VERY SLOWLY until you can grab it around the belly. You'll have to aim for behind its head because they are so fast. Don't grab the tail, because it will come off, or any of its legs, because you might hurt them. Good luck and be patient. I hope you don't try to keep the lizard because they're almost impossible to keep as pets successfully, at least the kinds we have here in the US.

Answer 3

Don't grab them by the tail cos it may just come off and then (I could be mistaken) I think they can grow a new one.   Buy lizards at the pet shop to feed your pet.   You could get one in a net if you catch them basking on a rock in the sun.   A dish of water sometimes attracts them and you find them swimming around in it, trying to get up the sides.

Answer 4

Get a small fishing net, you can get one in the pet store that sells fish

Answer 5

Hand collecting, sticky traps sold for mice, minnow traps (bait with meat to attract flies), blowgun (not for live lizards), stunning with rubber bands, pitfall traps.

Herpetological Review is the journal that publishes the most articles on techniques for collecting lizards
