Has anyone bothered to ask the reptile how it feels about sharing a bed with JR?
Get both sides of the story guys!

Im having trouble keeping a reptile out of my bed , I have sent him packing three times but this time he is avoiding capture .
He isnt much trouble but has a nasty habit of doing the occassional poo on my pillow, so Im wondering how dangerous is lizard poo and should I be worried about sharing my bed with this creature as he doesnt seem to want to leave.

Im afraid to report that the lizard commited suicide by sticking its head in moveable flyscreen, I guess it couldnt stand the shame of being found in bed with me.

my sympathies for your loss...:hurt:

if you feel too lonely, we could lend you a Malinois who loves to sleep on pillows, but is not allowed to do so here...

He only weighs 80 pounds, so should leave you plenty of space on your pillow...:cool:

I have to admit he does not poo on the pillow like your lizard, but if you want, we could try to train him to do that...:D

Lizard in your bed

Sorry for your loss, but as one poster mentioned here that Lizards eat bed bugs, consider the possibility that you have bed bugs. I've seen people with them there. They can live in your mattress without eating a year for adults and a 1/2 year for babies. They can transmit blood diseases. (ie: HIV) Use chalk powder on the mattress if you do find you have some as it stops them from coming out. You can make darn sure you don't by tying up your mattress in a large plastic bag and letting it bake in the sun for 7 days! ....just thought, there must be a reason the lizard liked it there and, sorry don't think it was your cuddles!
