    In the mid south US, i’ve never seen someone dislike lizards

    I also don’t see them that often, especially in winter or spring

    although there was one day I was in this courtyard for half an hour where I saw like 12 little skinks

      I live in the southern US and I see them daily. They seem to be more common than squirrels. They run away from you though so they don’t bother anyone. At my old apartment, there was a period of time somehow lizards kept getting inside my place. I kept trying to free them but I would accidentally kill them when trying to handle them. Another one I just tried to let live in my apartment, but he quickly died…presumably from not being able to find enough food and water. They are super fragile.

        I only see them like once a month or less when it’s spring or winter, and I’ve never seen one inside. I didn’t know they were that fragile, but the ones I see are probably too fast for me to catch lol
