Y’all remember the crocodile hunter? He taught me everything I know. But for real, these lizards have turned our home into the reptile room lol. I don’t know if there’s some type of repellent I can use to deter these pests, but for now, I am going full on animal planet on these things. My kids AND my wife are terrified of lizards, and on this week’s episode, watch as one traps himself in our bathroom. This lizard had me rethinking our entire bathroom design and considering a small bathroom remodel because the molding and cabinet design made it so difficult for me to catch him. But don’t worry, I prevailed.
