Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI have one of those wonderful "invisible" lizards trapped in the house.
Tried leaving water out for it, but it's unlikely to live much longer. Just saw it and it was incredibly thin. Just forty feet to the door, but no way to bring it out from hiding behind the fixed wall unit.
It's a rare lizard around here. It loses all color as if it's trying to get invisible, not camouflage like a green lizard.
Anyone have ideas to prolong its life that doesn't end up with giving myself a pest infestation? I suppose I could leave earthworms in a glass jar?

(46,758 posts)I'm probably fretting over a non native species, but, I so seldom see them that I know they're not a problem like the Cuban frogs.
I've seen green anoles turn brown, and even yellow. This other lizard just gets very, very pale.

(46,758 posts)We always seem to get frogs in the house that spend too much time in the entrance area. But, I figured out they were Cuban frogs, so I don't feel so bad when they don't make it.

They cling to the window screens and their belly skin is so transparent, you can see their organs.

Kind of how you get birds out of a warehouse. We open the big doors and shut all the lights off and they fly right out. In daylight of course.
