Aguanga resident and wildlife advocate Dominique Leard Rauton rescued a diminutive and harmless reptile from a glue trap intended for spiders and mice Sunday, September 24. A pair of lizards became hopelessly stuck - and one succumbed to the experience."I despise sticky traps," Rauton said. "One of my husband's clients uses them inside his cabin to trap invading spiders, mice and insects. We always check them when we go to the property. Today I was smart, I brought cooking oil spray, hemostats, plastic gloves and Q-tips. I'm so glad I did, these two poor lizards were stuck in the glue trap."According to Rauton, the smaller of the two lizards was barely alive when she was able to release it from the strong adhesive."After we got the little one unstuck, it died a few minutes late
