How would one go about catching a lizard?

I have a pretty little green lizard that has been running around in my kitchen for about a day now and we cannot catch him. I need to get him outside so he can get food and water, soon. Any ideas?

    A butterfly net? Or, prop up a shoebox with a stick and string in his favorite spot.

  • Get a butterfly net and a stick then touch him with the stick and have the net on the other side and soon it will get freaked out of the stick and jump in then grab the net above the lizard so he can not climb out the put the net in the cage and take it outside where no cats can eat it GOOD LUCK!

    You could try a glue trap for mice. Release the lizard with vegetable oil. Or just leave it be. It can get water from the sink and eat some of the creepy-crawlies in the house.

    get him cornered and then surround the area with the mouse glue board traps, once on the trap crush his head with an old ham hock bone, problem solved, did nt you ever watch McGiver, another method , a lil less violent, have sex in the kitchen, it grosses him out and he will never go in the kitchen again, repeat untill u have had sex in ever room and he has no choise but to go back out side, good luck

    You just have to grab it very quickly. They don't bite hard so don't be scared. As kids, we used to let them bite and hang on to our earlobes and wear them as ear rings. Lol.

    Good luck!
