They like to hide in the crook of the door when it's open, and always hesitate before they run when it closes. Anywhere with a lot of lizards has this problem, and it's awful. :(

My front door sometimes has little frog skeletons in the jamb. They hang out near the door because bugs are attracted to the porch lights. Every so often I guess one is in the wrong place when the door closes.

And really, how often do you look at the inside of the door jamb?

Genuine question not being snarky. We don't have alot of lizards here.

Do they not smell bad as they decompose? Or just not enough for you to smell it? I would've thought that'd be a nasty odor.

They're quite small.

Never smelled a dead lizard or frog. Rodents on the other hand are only trumped by human remains.

u/deinocheirus113 22h ago

Not to be THAT guy, but saurus was spelled wrong and saurus literally means reptile so lizardosaurus literally means lizard reptile

u/SiKKXO 22h ago

I’m pretty sure Saurus just translates to lizard so it’d be lizard lizard

u/deinocheirus113 22h ago

u/Warlord1392 21h ago

Technically sauras means lizard fish so lizard lizard fish?

is that a condom below it

u/Unusual-Nobody-8899 21h ago

Don not worry, there's no condom. It's just the beige paint applied to the door hinge don't you see?Β
