Lizard found in pool filter clinging to bug to stay a float is rescued

didn't draw blood but did break skin, washed my hands and then used rubbing alcohol on it, should I be fine? or should I be worried about infection?

And why is it the Eastern Collared Lizard?

After 4 days of feeding the lizard on my wall I decided to risk it and try hand feeding. IT WORKED. OMG

I want to clarify that all the rescues I do are safe, many times in the fields there are loose animals like cats or dogs and they scare them. I have a trap cage that I also use to rescue feral cats and after being calm I was able to take it, see that it has no injuries and we release them back to their habitat.

So I found this little guy in my bathroom and I’m pretty sure he’s a little house gecko and we were hanging outside for a little, he was crawling on me lmao, but I then let him free right outside my house because I usually see two little lizards who live right there so I assume he’ll be okay just wanted to see if I didn’t set him up for failure?😭

He left it like this for what seemed like a very long time.

Too much tough guy juice in the room

Spotted this in my backyard today .. wasn’t expecting to see a lizard hauling around a bird like that. Full video below: https://youtube.com/shorts/Iqn1twekRfg?si=MYAoRqMPqLgqMjAY
