There's not a lizard with a tail anywhere near our house. Cocoa doesn't realize they are edible so he would play with them "untill their batteries run out". Now, he will actually bring them to me while they are still alive and I take them out of the house. I have found that Cocoa tires them out enough that I can catch them, otherwise they are too speedy. If I'm not around I will find their carcass later (eww!). If you can get it outside while it's still kicking, that would be the best.

This came in handy when he caught a baby bird and I was able to get it from him. Somehow he knows they are not toys now!
