How do humans communicate with lizards?

Answer 1

With the mind, primarily. Even though it seems ridiculous even as I am writing this, communication of intent - " I am going to end your life" as opposed to "I don't want to hurt you at all" appears to be very effectively received by the lizards where I live. The thing is, they sometimes will make their way into my home. In the past, I've cornered them and taken them back outside. I've never knowingly killed one. Last night I was steam cleaning the carpet and saw two in the corner, just watching, motionless. Verbally, mentally and emotionally I sent the message that I saw them, did NOT want to hurt them and asked if they wanted to go back outside. (Reading this, I wonder if I should be getting help). I felt that the message was received. How? I don't know the mechanism - I only have the intuited "feeling" that it occurred. Anyway, they stayed there, motionless. Bear in mind, the volume of noise and the sheer size of the carpet cleaning machine should have freaked them out and sent them scurrying. But they didn't move, even as I eased the nose of the carpet cleaner very close to them - within a few inches - to get that area of the carpet. Later on after finishing the carpet job, I checked to see if they were still there. They were, in exactly the same position. At this point I began to think maybe they were dead! But I decided to check again this morning, just out of curiosity. Both lizards were nowhere to be seen. Is this scientific proof of successful communication? No way. But it is very unusual behavior given the ambient noise and activity conditions. These lizards are normally very skittish, hard to catch, and very fast moving. I welcome other's accounts of their experiences.

Answer 2

Humans can communicate with lizards through body language and behavior. By moving slowly, staying calm, and observing how the lizard reacts, humans can interact with lizards without causing stress. In addition, some lizards may respond to gentle handling and consistent feeding times, which can help build trust between humans and the lizards.

It all depends on the type of animal you are talking about. For instance a dog wags its tail or barks.
