How to Catch Lizards! Tips and Tricks 

Great ideas man. Its good to encourage people herping to try to teach them how to do it in the safest way possible for the animals.

I like catching these lizards by hand. I catch at least a brown anole every day with my bare hands. My method is by sneaking up to them, try to get your hand as close as possible to them, then strike.

The tree method is a good way to catch Fence lizards and skinks.

I wait from them to slow down or stop moving for a bit, then catch them by the torso, and another tip is block them by putting your hand in front of them

I have a brown anole in my house that is too fast to catch. I gave up and started feeding her.

I recommend having two people to scare the lizard to the next person

Skinks is the most easy to catch if you practice a bit especially the big Ones

At 7:37 was so funny when he jump off he said I believe I can fly

Thanks for the Spong advice,it worked

Don't garb them by the tail its most likely gonna pull off some lizards can regrow there tails in like 2-3 months some don't regrow their tails

Great video!! Where did you get your frog t-shirt?

5:04 nice aquarium

What lizard is that you used for the sponge method?

Yes lizard i catch

Great tips!

Haha the plop killed me!

You are such an underrated helper! All these tips worked great!!

Lets give his green lizard a clap from being a example for the tutorial

Idk you but I’m instantly subscribing

Great video! I have to ask, where is that sunset?

I held a newborn one and possibly a sleeping lizard. Dont know. And all of them were touched with bear hands

I catch the anoles with a fishing pole and a loop in the clear fishing line. Put the loop over the head and then pick up...sometime they will run wich also catches them. It does not hurt them and I have watched Scientist catch them this way. After a few times you will get better at it.

Thank you I have a rogue quickly moving lizard in the house and want to remove it without injuring it - so your video was very helpful

There are many green anoles and five-lined skinks in my area, and I catch them really easy, their tail isn’t very supervised because “oh I just detach it” but i can lightly pin its upper tail and kinda just pick it up. The skinks are a little snappy but no teeth lol. I have a green anole rn but I might own a skink sometime. My green anole is affectionate and likes being handled. (he jumps on my hand when I feed him or clean his cage)

What do you feed them with?

Thanks🎉 for the tip

ou made this the day before my birthday omg

What about desert iguana's from over here in the desert Southwest? How would you catch them without them running inside their borrows, or if they do go in their borrows, what's the best way of capturing them?

Good help going helping analog and skinks

I'm happy I found this video because there is a little lizard I'm trying to get 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I wrote a children's book about catching lizards called, On The Loose. Here in Florida, they love to sneak in the house, and we have to help them get back outside. 🦎

I love catching lizards❤🙂can you do more videos on tips to catch lizards

Ok I’m subbing

There is a kind of lizard I wanna catch it is like 3 times faster than a green anole what should I do?

Do anoles like to swim?

Could you make a video on encloseurs (sorry if i misspeled it)

i don’t have a spare sponge or a net so the tree method is helpful

Either way Ur totally being it's best bet of life in general but maybe the gecko wants ta eat a live bat in Townsville.. or was that a green frog

Can I find lizards in union county cuz I ain’t really see them out here

I have a bumper crop but I don't think you are allowed to catch them in Georgia.

Your lizard most likely luvs you but not sure if the sponge technique is luv or entrapment

I need help. I know I can catch a big house lizard. But how to catch a baby lizard? The little lizard is hiding from me.

I love reptiles ❤😊

10:28 lol

But that gecko luvs you TRUST me

I have tiny cute baby lizards all around my home, I love them. They are usually hanging around my walls, so I just catch them by first just approaching it slowly, I do it till the tiny reptile isnt that scared anymore. Afterwards, I proceed to grab it gently by the torso, BE VERY CAREFUL!! they are very tiny and hard to not just accidentally squish them.

I HAVE COTEN ONE TOBAY JUST NOW ITS A BLACK AND YELLOW STIPED SALAMANEDER

I have one in my house lol

I got a another tip you should add: While catching lizards you should also wear gloves so if they do bite you (idk they can) the gloves will make it painless.

i always use the tree tip to catch a lizard

Lol I love lizards and I actually have one in my hand right now and his name is Leo and it was pretty easy to catch him actually he was just on my trampoline and I knocked him off and now he kind of trust me now!

I am trying to catch a lizard in my house before he starves or my cat gets it. I hope its not poisonous I am scared of it and its scared of me. Its a small wild lizard about the size of your green lizard but its not green its dark gray with a stripe I think but it moves too fast to tell for sure. Its probably a native wild lizard and this is northern Calif. Sacramento Valley. Maybe somebody knows. Is it poisonous? I'll catch it by the tail if its not poisonous IF I CAN.

There is a green anole right on an air conditioner outside, I can’t catch that fucker, it’s so fast, and since I keep trying to catch it, it immediately bolts when it sees me, and I never see more lizards now, just them

Everyday I see a lizard on my wall outside, so I want to catch one

HOWD HE JUST LET YOU PLACE A SPONGE ONTOP OF HIM?? 😭😭THE LIZARDS OUTSIDE MY HOUSE BOLT AWAY

Cooked

i catch them by hand so its a little bit hard

I'm sorry but the sponge method is not effective in the wild, their to fast and the wont wait for you to put a sponge on them the will just run to their burrow I put my hands in a cup shape and then quickly put it ontop of them

I tried it it didn't work maybe my lizards are just too fast

like i really love your lizards and i want them like im in ph so... ICANT FIND ONE😭🙁😭🙁 AND IM JUST 8 YEARS OLD

I just tried, and it does not work

I only need bubuli

smash.

Were they from the wild if they were you should let them go

Hi My sam lizard died :(😭😭😭😭

He says he caught the herp.

You put a lot of faith in your green anole hahaha

I can not hear

u look like tom holland

I just use my hands

We catch a tan lizard in a date and we are pros because we’ve been doing drugs basically for a whole life

Whats herping

I’m sorry I meant doing I didn’t mean to say drugs

Sponge?

Green anoles are super easy to catch. They’re pretty dumb and slow. On the other hand I’ve been trying to catch a skink for the past 6 months and I have had no luck. Those bastards have amazing reflexes and are fast as all get out.

Flexing with those airpods

And we’re only eight and you’re probably like 21

I caught one and it die

i know all the tip before you

lizeds are sooooooooooooooooooooo cute😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Sorry I forget

I’m sorry to repeat yourself to much. Just get to the point!!!! Very annoying

You shouldn’t catch wild animals
