Cats that kill and eat anoles can indeed get very sick. The anoles eat bugs including cockroaches that have ingested pest-control poisons. Apparently it doesn't kill the anoles but it really does a job on the cats. Happened to my cat and she died.

Just leave a small plate with a little wine on it. The next day just pick them up and take them outside.

Oh, my! I'm so sorry. Thanks for posting this warning.

what, no wine, music or dim lights.....

Love this...must try it next time I catch an angry one!:mademyday::a20:

I use a gold fish net to capture anoles . They can and do enter our lanai/bird cage right under the bolted framing where there is an opening.

I wanted to caulk the bottom frame but then it would prevent rain water from draining. so I have a round up periodically. Those critters are fast and very elusive

When you do............take a selfie.

That's really sad, so sorry about your cat jblum. Thanks for sharing.
Hopefully it will help save another cat's life.

I wonder if small dogs are similarly affected.
I would never allow my dog to eat a gecko on purpose.
But he is crazy for them.
And sometimes he is faster than I am.
Luckily they usually find a hiding spot under the door threshold.

Or......wait until it's cold out. It paralyzes 'em and you can very easily pick them up.

Always amazed by how fascinated some people are with lizards here in Florida.

As kids, we used to buy them at the Allentown Fair in Pa. They would come with a little leash around them and the other end had a safety pin to pin to your shirt. They never lived that long. We would try to kill flies and feed them.

I promise I will:loco:! I love the little guys and would love to add them to my jewelry collection:1rotfl:.

Yes! I use one just like that, and it works!

Yesterday morning my pup vomited. She was fine afterwards and I forgot about it. I just now took her out and she pooped a lizard. Don't know if she was sick from the lizard........YUCK!!!!!!

She pooped a lizard???? OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

I've watched birds try to catch lizards in my bushes. The bird would disappear into the bush and emerge with a lizard in its beak.

I get them In my lanai if my door does not shut. Here is how I catch a release. I keep a Tupperware type container and a piece of cardboard in lanai. When I see a critter hanging on the screen a drop the container over it then slide the cardboard under it. Since the container is opaque I know I captured it .I carefully flip the whole thing and take it all outside and open to release. Works well.
