Kudos to your little monster for finally defending your home and your honor but if you ever get another lizard in your house would you consider...... using a broom????? It works on carpet, you just scoot the sucker out, I have done this many times with jumping spiders
You have jumping spiders???? nope nope nope nope nope
In regards to the lizard and the broom, my first attempt at shooing it outside this morning resulted in it running behind the couch which is a problem because the couch is a huge leather sectional that i can’t move by myself. My second attempt did use the broom and was almost successful. He was almost outside and I thought Binx was in the bedroom but apparently not because she caught him on the threshold (and now I feel bad)
I’ll definitely remember the broom for next time though because it’s a lot better than my mom’s suggestion, which was to pick it up with my bare hands and throw it outside myself. She says this like I didn’t scream loud enough to wake my neighbor this morning when I discovered a lizard right above my head when I got up
