Didn't someone say you put them underwater? They have to let go to breathe.

^^ Won't spray it on them just around where they like to hang out. Apparently they move on as a poster mentioned earlier. Not surprised if it would kill them.

Won't find one, including snakes on our property because of this fear.

No worries.

Take small screaming girl with attached reptile and plunge into large tub of water, whilst holding girls nose, having told her to hold breath, a lot. (Helpfull hint = Don't tell reptile this.)

After a few minutes extract the pair of them and shake vigorously. One of them should fall off.

If not re-immerse. Increasing time scale.

By this time one of the two might be turning a sort of greenish blue colour. If it's you daughter it's probably best to haul her out. If it's the reptile don't be phased the cnuts just having you on with his chamelian ways.

Anyway, continue treatment to within a hairs breadth of daughters life.

All fails drag em out and club the cnut to death with a big stick.

Get wife to take daughter to docs for vaccinations, stitches etc.

Educational outcomes for daughter;

don't mess with slimy greasy bastards.
don't let things/people touch you with their mouths
It might look pretty but you don't want it inside you.

Educational Outcomes for lizard;

Don't get caught.

Happy to help........

Whoooww there JJ.

I think I should stick to the bucket of water and try to drown the monster (the Tokgar not my daughter). Depends also what part of her body it has attached itself too.

Thanks for the step by step plan of action.

I have a small gecko living under my computer desk and he's actually become quite tame. We leave him bread crumbs and even tiny bits of chicken. I'm worried when he grows larger he might bite off my toe while I'm working on the computer.

Well, as long as you're supposed to lick before and not after. If it were after, then I'd consider it some sort of local mumbo-jumbo.
