It looks like a grayish color and has a very "gripping" tail that is long.

It was a tropical plant that we bought from Kroger which is why we are so concerned about just letting it go because we don't know where the plant came from at first...

Many alien bugs and animals have been accidentally introduced to new environments on shipments from the areas in which they are native. Some of these become very serious problems in the adopted home because their normal predators are not present in the new environment. So I would strongly urge you not to release an unknown animal into the wild where you live unless you are able to determine that it is a native of your area.

Where did you get the plant from? Has it been in your home for awhile or is it outside? Either way lizards are beneficial. They will eat any bugs they find in or around your home. Just leave it alone, if you are comfortable with that. Otherwise, put it back outside.

It depends on where the plant came from. If it was imported from any other country, or even another state, take it to the vet, as it could carry diseases or become an invasive species, and they can help you determine that. If it was locally grown, just let it go.

If the plant is outside, leave him alone, if it's inside, catch him if you can gently and put him out. Lizards are on their own from the time they hatch. They do not get cared for by their parents at all, so he'll be fine.

Your first step is identifying it, so check with exotic animal veterinarians, wildlife rehabilitation centers, or herpetologists if there are any universities or zoos/herpetariums nearby. If it's native they may be able to advise you on where to release it. If it's exotic it should not be released, and they may know what to do with it.

research its origin so you can tell what it eats and how warm it needs to be. If you dont feel confident about looking after it contact a reptile house or zoo, they may take it off your hands.

the best thing is to let it go or take care of it as a good wildlife manager.
