Default Re: lizards in lanai

If you have siding, you're not going to keep them out. When I first came to TV, I was fixated with them, convinced they would get in the house and do untoward things. After checking on them, I discovered they are anoles, not geckos as I had thought, and they are really good to have around. For one thing, they eat spiders and other tiny critters. And though they seem to have free run of the lanai, they almost never enter the house (let me keep believing that). During the 3 years, I've seen one indoors and he looked totally confused. BTK is right. Leave 'em be and they'll do their job. My only complaint is that they don't eat (enough) lovebugs --- not those :edit: are a different matter.
