SO WHATS THE DEAL ABOUT LIZARDS?
My uncle told me to watch out for lizards.., so I have a few questions..maybe somebody could answer them!
#1. Do these lizards only live in desert areas?, all the lizards I see at the zoo seem to have come from hot areas #2. He said to find a lizard, go to the back of the lot where it is dark (they do not like light?) #3. Could you catch one of these lizards and keep them as a pet if your company allows pets in the truck? #4. If you did catch one and keep it for a pet will it require special handling or a cage, or can you just let it run around in the truck? #5. Where would be the best place to catch one of these lizards? #6. Does a lizard sleep during the day and stay up all night? #7. If I bought one of these lizards how much would they cost? #8. My wife does not like "crawly things", would a lizard count as one of those?? #9. Would it play nice with kids, or try and bite them? Thanks for the info! remember a friend will bail you out of jail, a buddy will be sitting right next to you saying "man was that fun or what!"

Possesion of more than one lizard requires a license.
Possesion af a lizard AND a wife requires a hazmat endorsement.

handeling a lizard requires a special rubberized suit. remember they carry germs and viruses that are especially harmful to normal relationships. sometimes they are knowen to eat credit cards and loose cash. usually they require special drugs that are illegal in the trucking industry . drugs are necessary to them to just perform the basic reproductive actions, and pray that no reproduction happens. otherwise they make wonderfull pets. alas my better half will not let me have one. everytime i mention it she wants to come out in the truck for a few weeks with me.

My cats like to catch and eat lizards. They also bag a pigeon or two.

#1. Do these lizards only live in desert areas?, all the lizards I see at the zoo seem to have come from hot areas You have lived a very protected life.... lizards are very adaptable and have moved just about everywhere, all though the prefer the natural habitat of poor run down sections of most urban areas you can find more of the exotic ones in suburbia, however these are mostly well kept and are very expensive to keep. #2. He said to find a lizard, go to the back of the lot where it is dark (they do not like light?) This is true, almost like vampires, however, you can try the age old bait trick by placing a $20 bill under your wiper blades. This is usually very successful, however, you may run into trouble with the wildlife officers in the fact that baiting is legal in most areas, unless you're going for nerds where a computer is quit legal to leave in front of your truck. #3. Could you catch one of these lizards and keep them as a pet if your company allows pets in the truck? That will depend on your company, but I have seen some (very high priced ones), that do take to choker collars and leash with much training. #4. If you did catch one and keep it for a pet will it require special handling or a cage, or can you just let it run around in the truck?I would recommend restraints for your lizard, they tend to like them.......as to letting them run around the truck, that might not be safe, especially if they were to jump in your lap while driving, you might miss a gear or get in it the wrong hole.....besides they tend to shed their outter coverings quit often. #5. Where would be the best place to catch one of these lizards? Usually, if you just lie very still in your bunk pretending to be asleep, they will come to you.......why make it harder than it has to be.......a smart hunter always lets the prey come to him. #6. Does a lizard sleep during the day and stay up all night? it just depends on how you train them........but for the most part, yes. #7. If I bought one of these lizards how much would they cost? If you have to ask, you can't affort one. #8. My wife does not like "crawly things", would a lizard count as one of those?? It depends.........there have been instances where the wife has taken ownership of the lizard for her very own and never lets the husband play with the lizard every again..........which is usually followed by a sudden decrease in the checking account and savings account followed by a knock on the door with some guy handing you papers that pertain to the freedom of said wife and lizard. #9. Would it play nice with kids, or try and bite them? Lizards have been known to be very good with children, especially the male children.... and have been known to teach the female children lizard ways...... Thanks for the info! remember a friend will bail you out of jail, a buddy will be sitting right next to you saying "man was that fun or what!"

gee i did not realize these lizards can be such complicated creatures.
there seems to be several things to watch out for! My uncle told me trolling for them is kinda fun as well, he said to take a $20 bill and tie to a string and then let the string out about 20 feet behind you and then run around the parking lot. He said these lizards will actually fight over the "bait". He also said a cb radio can work to attract them, but not quite sure how that would work???
