Lizards eating my worms?

Posted by kathmcd7 10 (My Page) on

This year I have had a lot of lizards in my yard. This is my second year with outside worm bins. The bin that I had left the lid partially off is almost empty of worms. I saw a lizard in my flowerbed where I also feed worms. I put some window screen over the opening in the bin, but what about the flower bed? I'm in Las Vegas, and we're not used to critters eating things in the yard! Do you think the screen will be enough to keep them out? Any suggestions are appreciated.

I'm curious about what kind of lizard you might have. Desert lizards will dig a little but not burrow deep. I doubt they would be a problem.

Here in Louisiana, I have alot of anoles and geckoes. I found 6 geckoes the other day running around in one of my compost bins..all sizes from baby to adult. I know they are snagging some of the BSFL and roaches that show up..

The lizards kind of look like tree lizards, but I don't really know what kind they are. I guess I'll just keep covering the outside bins and leave the flowerbed one alone. I'm glad I don't have your lizards. Mine are so little.(haha) Thanks
