we let the lizzard go into the wild....just me is crazy....nail polish is not strong enough for you? as is you use something stronger to get high because you are used to it? A sharpie? A gas can? Maybe its XTC, or weed....get a life.

I think he could...although they do much better in the wild. First you need to find out what it is for sure to see what it needs for diet. Geckos have fat toes and can cling to some surfaces..anoles are a type of lizard that have more like claws. Just make sure they have the right temp in the tank and mist them if they need it to get a drink of water. most lizards and geckos will drink water drops off of plants. You can catch bugs for them to eat or buy them at the pet store. you can take him to the pet store and ask what to feed and what size crickets to buy. good luck!

you should get some mite spray because ALL wild reptiles have them. and after that you spray the lizard and the aquarium with it. you will want to keep the lizard on white paper towels, so you can constantly ckeck to see if the mites are dead. once they are dead you can move up to natural bedding like sand. NEVER use cedar as this is toxic to reptiles!Oh, and you should avoid handling him for a few weeks, because you could cause stress related disesase, and even death! please don't forget that all lizards must have special uv lighting which you can get anywhere they sell reptiles, if he doesn't have it, you will kill him

i dont know if that is a good idea. you see, garden varieties of lizards live on natural ingredients and habitats. they dont have the genes that the domesticated types that you can get from the pet stores. so, i would ask a pet store owner, or research it online. just ask someone to see, but i personally dont think it would live long with the domesticated cage and food.
