I've never "noosed" either. Would there be a risk of lizard death/injury with that method as well?

In the past I just try to catch them by hand, but of course I've knocked off a few tails in the process. I don't really like it when that happens either. It seems like there is always a risk to the lizard.

It seems like the cruelty involved in shooting a lizard with a rubber band is far less than shooting a deer with a bullet.

You're right though - we should think about why we are catching this stuff.

Thanks,

Jake
