We get anoles in the house sometimes, it is always fun herding them back out. We have an abundance of them on our deck and seriously, the only bug problem I have ever had on the deck plants is with leaf miners on the potted citrus some years. We also have broadheaded and five lined skinks, they are not so cute but they eat roaches so it is always good to have a few of them around. .
Minds are like parachutes; they work better when they are open.
