my son was my official catcher. I try to get them out because they die in the house.

Anyone mention that they are harmless. :doh:

We had two on our Lanai. I tried to catch one of them and inadvertently killed it. I felt really bad about it. So we decided to just leave the other one alone. We figure if they found their way in they will find a way out.

I use a regular fish net (the kind for plucking goldfish in a tank) and a flexible cutting board. First you place the net over the anole on a wall or screen or wherever. Then you slide the cutting board on the wall to cover the net opening. Just carry outside and release. I've done dozens like this (most I catch near the pool area on the screen. Mrs. Boston insists on an anole free area.

Our cat likes to catch them and bring them in from the birdcage. When she does bring one in, we just put another place setting at the dinner table so it can join us for dinner. Why do we do that you ask? Well... it's because we live in America's friendliest home town of course! :throwtomatoes:

There are no geckos in Fl. They are anoles.

I had a little chameleon on my lanai that couldn't change colors. I think it has reptile dysfunction.

wet rag
 
Those little guys are too fast! Take a wet rag which will drop fast on them, and carefully scoop up and return them to not your house
