I love the lizards! Cute and they eat the yucky little bugs. They seemed to be disappearing when it was so cold out and I was a little worried, but with the warmer temps, they are all over again.

I find them disgusting, have a phobia. If they're outside, fine, stay there! But inside? Oh no! I try not to kill them, as I think that is indeed cruel but I killed one last night with Raid (which brought me to this thread) and I do feel bad about it, but if I hadn't it'd have gotten in my room and caused me to panic.

I do see a double standard here though "Don't kill the lizards, they eat the bugs!" well what if I LIKE the bugs? Spiders don't bother me :P Flies are only a nuisance, don't gross me out and I'm not scared of them. Roaches are disgusting but I'm not scared to kill them or even grab them! Also, most of the roaches are bigger than the lizards! How is it supposed to eat a roach? xD

I do feel bad about killing the little bugger, I also feel bad about accidentally stepping on snails. But you come into my territory, things might get drastic! I do plan to move outta Florida though, hopefully soon (but as we all know, money doesn't come from the sky) plan to move to Texas wth my SO and then moving to the upper Midwest, I'll gladly take -15 degrees if it means no lizards
