How do I capture & safely moveyard lizards to another house?

You can look up what kinds of lizards you have on the internet and you will learn what they need for their habitat. If your friend has the same type of habitat as you do it should be ok to move them--if not--leave them behind. You could add a picture here and someone will probably know what species of lizards you have. You can pick them up with gloves and put them in a five gallon bucket to move them. No lid. I have salamanders that like to dwell in my basement window wells but I move them in the fall before winter to the swamp across my yard where they came from!

You may want to check with local wildlife experts in your area.

I can’t pick them up, they run and dart into my limestone garden walls and other places.

I need to safely trap them.

Yes, my friend lives in another rural area 40 miles from here. They will be fine.

Hi this is Peggy. Yes the lizards are good for eating bugs. I would move them in a shoe box with holes (small). Hope this helps you give a great gift to a friend. Search Results

Different species. Hard to tell gender as they lay eggs and are not mammals. Great question. I have hundreds of them too. In my case I can catch them. But it would be a project. Some come around begging for a handout and crawl up my legs. Have a few where dogs in the neighborhood chomped half their tails off. None of this helps you though. See if this does:

So sweet of you to help out your friend.

If all else fails, gather up the kids in the neighborhood and pay them 25 cents for every lizard they catch.

I would have to rely on neighborhood kids to catch them. Here is a step by step on some of the "How To's":

If your friend doesn't have lizards, then he doesn't have food for them. They go where they can survive. Does he use insecticides? If so, you will move them there just to die. If he doesn't, they'll come on their own.

I have a whole colony of albino lizards on my front porch. I would like to relocate most of them too so I cannot wait to see how this works.

you can catch and remove them but more will come back- they go to the food sources and are not harmful but actually eat bugs

The green ones are likely Carolina lizards and the brown ones Bahaman. You can catch them and put them in a jar and get them to a friend, but there is no guarantee they will stay at his home.

Try set up traps but there are probably hundreds you could try a Exsterminator then they will spray and it will keep them at bay.
