This was in Florida a few weeks ago, I'm from thw midwest and had never been to the state before, I knew there were a ton of lizards around and people see them all the time but I never actually knew they were invasive species!
I mean yeah it's not easy lol. I usually just cup my left hand, put it in front of them by about a foot or 2 and slowly approach, then snatch the base of their tail with my right hand.
