Was listening to someone from Algeria who mentioned they often have issues with lizards finding their way in homes. And I was like “at that point it sounds more like a free pet than vermin.”

Also, what do you do when this happens?

      Yes, lizards use it as an escape tactic. A bird might grab them by the tail and then they’ll “detach” the tail. They’ll then just regrow a new one.

      More common in geckos, I think, but yes.

      My kids were playing with a tail last summer. Kept twitching for almost 20 minutes. Freaky.
