Thank your unnamed PhD candidate for the laugh- not Texas A&M by any chance...? (Sounds like an Aggie joke, somehow) (UT grad here, of course) Working with herps and raptors for the last quarter century or so, I've seen- and shamefully, done- my share of "stupid pet tricks", but I do love the alligator lizard earing idea. Those little guys can chomp pretty hard, good thinking using the gel!
I believe it's the fumes from the alcohol that herps dislike so much, so any alcohol or alcohol-based product should work- I use the spray bottle because it's faster and easier to apply myself in odd positions- although I don't like to contemplate what those positions might be, or why I'd be in them... :*)

Enjoyed the pic- glad El Studente survived, as well as the Gerrhonotus liocephalus !
