No in the bathrobe is right out of a horror movie. I think that I would have need medical attention if that happened to me, I'm not that brave.

We moved upwards because DH was sick of mowing lawns and messing with landscaping. The escape from critters was an added bonus. Having to wait for the elevator with an incontinent Doberman that's gotta go RIGHT NOW wasn't so fun. I've only been to Austin in passing, so I'm duly warned about the monster red centipedes. Visit, don't stay.
I understand that motivation, OB. But there is no tower high enough to satisfactorily separate me from a red-headed centipede. Besides, my guess is those critters can climb. Errrrrgh.
Well if you really want to have a sleepless night, you can bring things home with you in a grocery bag or even in your car. That has happened to me a couple of times. The lizard in the back of the SUV was funny. We have so many that one more outside didn't matter
But not funny for the lizard, gk! He was undoubtedly deeply confused by the sudden relocation--"I was THERE, now I'm HERE. . . but where is here?" I hope your indigenous yard lizards were welcoming. "We're glad to have you, but one rule: nobody talks to the lawn shrimp."
Hmm... It was really his choice to relocate since he found a way into the back of the car. At the time, I told DH that the lizard was trying to move to a more residential neighborhood since this happened in Costco parking lot. We decided to let him stay in the back until we got home and then we urged him to meet his new neighbors
I did have another experience with lizard relocation that involved a lizard running around in the step down bar in my family room and a Dyson vacuum cleaner. The Dyson was the only way I could catch him and he survived very nicely to be let out in the side yard.

Now that I think about it, the lizards are probably eating the lawn shrimp!
But do lizards understand automotive transportation? Did he realize he was relocating? Or did he just see your car as a sort of large terrarium, all nice and warm, with a posh carpeted floor?
In any case, it was kind of you not to eject him at highway speeds.
Yes, the lizards probably do eat the lawn shrimp. This subject continues to gross me out in new and inventive ways.

OK, here is what i really think. The Costco where we were shopping is in a less expensive neighborhood than where we live. I think he saw a nice SUV and decided that he could move up to a better neighborhood with lush landscaping i.e. better insects to eat and a more comfortable environment, Essentially I am saying that this lizard was upwardly mobile and could be accused of being a climber and/or snob and had no problem leaving friends and family behind. He was thinking only of himself and had no regard as to how much he would be hurting the F&F. Life is tough!But do lizards understand automotive transportation? Did he realize he was relocating?

You know, rereading your post, gk. . . Next time you're leaving Costco, better check your backseat. That'll be me crouching back there. 
No problem Mindi, I have a nice guest room for you. Of course at the moment, it is filled with the contents of my linen closet, but we can work it out.You know, rereading your post, gk. . . Next time you're leaving Costco, better check your backseat. That'll be me crouching back there.
That bug would be a teriffic bag charm for a Rouge Tomate.No in the bathrobe is right out of a horror movie. I think that I would have need medical attention if that happened to me, I'm not that brave.
