Yeah, certainly possible for a single frog to find that crack under the lid. Some of the pics from my google search showed multiple frogs in a single toilet. Kinda doubt the whole posse found there way in that way.🤫

I saw them. If I had that many frogs in my toilet, I think I would sell the house and move.

I don't know about frogs, but I have seen palmetto bugs come up throught the sink drains...

I don’t live in the area yet so had to Google what an anole was. Now for the important question…how do I properly pronounce anole so I don’t sound stupid?

Apparently, no one knows. A lot of disagreement on this issue. You have the two syllable people and the three syllable faction.

Uh-knoll.

Ah-knoll.

Uh-knoll-ee.

We had a teeny one once who could jump many feet. It was about the size of a quarter I think. My S.O. caught it and took it outside BUT had to be quick as this thing could move! NOW in our sun-room, which is an actual room made from a lanai has had a tiny anole in it. I think it came through a tiny crack that is with our slider door to the patio. I don't know if he/she moves back and forth from outside to inside or what but if he's been here for awhile don't know what's keeping him alive. That large frog would have undone me.

yes that is true

Just say lizard, most of us do! Truly, we'll all know what you mean.
Also, know that they are excellent to have around the 'outside' of your home. They do an incredible job at eating bugs and insects!
Just like black racer snakes, don't kill them when they are in your yard.

$15 per pound. But I wouldn't tell the buyer that they came from the toilet.

We had a tree frog hitch a ride with us up north. Found him climbing my closet door in the bedroom. Caught it and put it outside. If it survived I suspect it was very lonely since we don’t have this type in our northern state. We packed the car in garage with door shut so it must have been in the garage as we loaded up. Frogs are quick and sneaky. My guess is yours came in through an open door.
