I have one of those wonderful "invisible" lizards trapped in the house.

Tried leaving water out for it, but it's unlikely to live much longer. Just saw it and it was incredibly thin. Just forty feet to the door, but no way to bring it out from hiding behind the fixed wall unit.

It's a rare lizard around here. It loses all color as if it's trying to get invisible, not camouflage like a green lizard.

Anyone have ideas to prolong its life that doesn't end up with giving myself a pest infestation? I suppose I could leave earthworms in a glass jar?

1. My daughter has a gecko that she feeds, no joke, baby food

If you’re looking to lure it out, it may be worth a try.

2. What kind of baby food? Meat?

3. A variety of different fruit/veggie mixes

I just looked in the pantry and it’s a product called “Plum organically”, comes in these little pouches.

4. I have some peaches I can puree.

I also gave it some smashed up canned chicken. If it has an olfactory sense, it might have a chance.

5. Good Luck!

6. There are invisible lizards?

Why wasn't I informed?

8. I'm sure there is a name for it.

I'm probably fretting over a non native species, but, I so seldom see them that I know they're not a problem like the Cuban frogs.

I've seen green anoles turn brown, and even yellow. This other lizard just gets very, very pale.

9. Sounds like a mediterranean house gecko

10. Could very well be. Except it loses its spots alltogether.

11. After reading the blurb, I won't feel so bad if it perishes.

We always seem to get frogs in the house that spend too much time in the entrance area. But, I figured out they were Cuban frogs, so I don't feel so bad when they don't make it.

12. That's the thing, they're incredibly resilient, and adept bug hunters

They congregate near outside house lights to hunt for moths.

They cling to the window screens and their belly skin is so transparent, you can see their organs.

7. I wonder if you might use light to lure it out? I suppose it's nocturnal. Shutting down all light

inside and leaving a light source outside might give it the idea to go out.

Kind of how you get birds out of a warehouse. We open the big doors and shut all the lights off and they fly right out. In daylight of course.

16. I'm going to try that. Thanks.

17. I hope it works. If it's nocturnal and hunts insects, maybe it will know that staying in the

dark and taking advantage of a light source, means dinner. It might sneak out and try and remain hidden to get closer to the food.

13. A lizard like this in your house is

Good luck, at least that's what the realtor told me.

14. Good luck, even if it dies in his house?

15. Is the lizard trying to sell you car insurance?

Is your lizard an Izzard that eats wizard gizards?
