Geckos for food?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Feeding geckos should be fine, but if they are collected in your house or neighborhood I'd be 100% sure that no pesticides are being used. I wouldn't want you to poisen you fish with lizards that have ingested pesticides or insects that have been exposed to them.

To catch geckos or other little fast lizards sqratch, I would suggest trying a small noose. This sounds farfetched but, believe it or not, it works wonders. I have used small nooses to catch anoles tons of times. Just get a long, slender stick and some dental floss or fishing line and make one up. Small lizards freak out when a hand comes at them, but for some reason they stay still for inanimate objects, even if it is a noose that is about to lasso them around the neck.
 
dam, gonna have to try that when i go out collecting

will it hurt their neck?

Na, I've never had an anole hurt its neck on it, and they have some pretty brittle little necks. Just dont jerk hard on it. Let them tighted it themselves as the walk/run away and they shoud be fine.
 
A slip knot.... like if you were gonna hang someone or make a lasso
