How do you care for a lizard from your yard?

Answer 1

I would recommend not killing it. It doesn't do any harm. Instead it does a lot of good by eating a lot of bugs (ants, termites, cockroaches etc.) that can cause real problems. If you still want to get rid of it, I would suggest moving it. Get a cardboard box (with a lid, frogs jump) and put the frog in it (use rubber gloves if you don't want to touch it) and transport it a mile or so away and release it. Problem solved, and nobody had to die :-)

Answer 2

It depends, of course. In general, wild lizards require 70 degree + temperatures, a good 3 bugs (smaller than the space between the eyes) every other day (they like crickets and ants especially). Mist the tank for good measure every other day as well as keeping a jar lid full of water. Model the habitat to reflect it's wild habitat. If it's a small reptile, a 15 gallon tank should do, but if you don't want to pay 20 bucks for an aquarium, Rubbermaid bins work fine. A medium to large reptile will require a 30- 100 gallon space. NEVER let direct sunlight enter the cage. They do, however, like to bask, so allow either filtered sunlight or a heat bulb to reach into the cage. Try to identify it before looking into further care.
