I have a lizard/gecko thing that lives in my bonsai tree in my backyard. He lives in the ground, in a little hole under some leaves and when I water the plant daily he crawls out and jumps on me.

What kind of animal is this? I am in South Florida. Also, I am moving soon. Should I take him/her with y/n?

Looks like a Day Gecko to me. they don't make good pets. Very nervous and the skin will tear easily so you can't handle them. They make good display lizards though.

also they require special lighting that produces UVB so that can be expensive.

I meant more along the lines of whether I should bring him and keep him in the tree where he lives, or let him stay in the area he (presumably) is familiar with.

let him stay where he's familiar.

The dilemma is that he's familiar with the tree and the surroundings.

I wish I had some cool lizards or frogs around my place. All I have are roaches and the occasional bat. Are there any way to attract herps to my house, like a lizard feeder or something?

Yes: give them places to hide. Potted plants are good, wood piles, rocks, and so on.

Also, outdoor lights that are on at night. The lights attract insects, and the lizards, frogs, and toads will show up to eat the insects.

And it lets you pick it up just like that?

Well, I read somewhere that lizards don't like to be held, so I only pick him up for a few seconds when I water the plant so he doesn't jump somewhere and hurt himself and then I put him back.

A while ago a different one bit my finger when I found him in an office building and wanted to bring him outside. He didn't let go for a few minutes.

Well, if you're moving to a different climate or a place where he won't be able to get food, it would be a bad idea to bring him.

If you really want to keep him, he looks like he could have a few small crickets. Go to your pet store and ask for a few baby crickets, he'll probably eat them right up.

Uh.. yeah, yeah it is. It's a Day Gecko. That's no fucking brown anole.
