Giant Lizard Alert

The lizards are back.  I hadn't seen them since about last August, but now I've seen them a couple of times, including this one that was on the porch yesterday when I got home from work yesterday.

That's a gecko. They are lovely creatures and harmless. Eats bugs, too.

They offer good deals on insurance, but I do not think they are lizards. But don't rely on me - I'm an economist, not a reptile ... expert.

I actually like having them around, since they eat bugs. Our cats did catch one, but we took it away from them.

Hi, I have a small lizard in my car, i opened the door last week, to go to work, and it was on the stepper and went into my car. After panicking, i took it to the station where it was washed inside out, vaccumed and all....
I assumed that my car now is lizard free, until, i saw it last night, on the dashboard :( it freaked me out, i have a fobia for any kind of crawlers...plz help..i tried to kill it, it went inside the AC , and then i saw it later, in the back , which means it's finding its way in the car, from the front to the back etc...I don't know what to do, but if anyone can help , or suggest an idea ,it would much appreciated..

A correction for bandicoot's comment: Said Nursi respects sufism but is not a sufi himself.

I am also afraid of lizards but I used to be terribly afraid of them. I think I am getting used to living in their company :-) I am very sad when I kill any of them because they are harmless creatures to the best of my knowledge.
