    Default How much do I NOT like lizards in the house??

    Well I just opened the door and tossed out one of the back cushions of my $3000 couch out into the yard!

    He finally went away and I got it back and its fine.

    Once (this really happened a few years ago when I was getting the door for the pizza man)you have a lizard jump onto your head from your front door wreath you really lose all tolerance for them in your house, your hair or heaven forbid down your back!

    I didn't drop the pizza though when he jumped on my head!

    Sorry but too funny an idea here. Lizards are in aquariums or at the zoo. And I pity the poor chipmunk that wanders in here. Kitties would so pleased at their "gift". Don't you have cats??

    Aww, we have little house geckos all over the outside and inside of the house all spring and summer. I adore the little guys! Spiders, on the other hand, shudder!

    Bless your heart. I live in the woods and have lizards, spiders and snakes at times. Not a lot of snakes. I use to be so afraid of spiders, but living here for nearly 14 years and I've gotten use to them. We have Black widow's. Tons of them oh and I forgot about the scorpions. TC

    awww but lizards are so cute. I had one living around my kitchen window all winter. He'd pop out on occasion. They are good for eating bugs. Yay!

    If you have cats I'm surprised you see the geckos at all. My old tom used to love eating them. Crunch crunch yum yum.

    Only have to worry about the toads hoping inside. Hasn't happened yet. Then again the "pet" squirrel is getting to used to me.

    I currently have a lizard running up the top of the living room wall, as well as a tree frog that hides in my kitchen and pops out at you from time to time. At the sliding back door there is a large toad that loves to sit watch. My cats ignore all the creatures; to chase them would interfere with their naps.

    In the past, since I tend to leave the back door cracked for the dogs to go out, I've had a small opossum and a scarlett snake wind up inside. Both were gently escorted back outside.

    They are my little garden buddies. Haven't had one in the house, though. I think my dog might take care of that if it happened.
