I keep finding these in garage and driveway in the morning. Seems to be composed of small insects, probably those attracted to the light I leave on all night. Been seeing these for years and never could figure out what was leaving them.

I have the same thing in my shop sometimes. I think it is a type of lizard that lives in my shop, but not 100% sure. Kinda pinkish and real shy to lights. The one in the picture has his tail cut off. They are hard to catch, once they get over a couple inches. I just let them alone, cause like you discovered they eat insects. Okay all you experts, let us know!!
Snake.......saw some like that in my neighbors garage....I though a big frog maybe.....we put a bunch of glue boards down and next morning we found a snake about three ft. long with eight glue boards stuck to him.
You guys must be bored to death, go fishing.

"D", I've never seen a lizard around our house big enough to make these...some are three times this big.
"G", I really don't want it to be a snake. There are too many places for it to hide. Game cameras will be deployed tonight!
Put some sticky boards out and catch what eve it is....we caught the snake....it couldnt crawl with 8 boards stuck to it. You can get them at walmart ....they over where the mouse poisen and incecticides are.
Its either a big rat...a big frog...or a snake.
It's from Toads, have them all around my place and have those droppings on front porch and in garage. They eat the bugs that come to lights at night. Even your interior lights draw them.
Take some duct tape and tape down the glue trap to the floor.
I have deployed 3 game cameras to catch the culprit. After googling "skunk droppings" I'm thinking that may be what it is. If it is a skunk I really don't want to make it mad with a sticky trap.
Yeh....I would rather smell it for a few days than to have it around all the time. I caught one in a live trap....held a blanket up to my eyes and walked up slow......tossed blanket over trap....picked trap up with blanket over it and put in back of truck and carried it off and released it....they won't spray if they cannot see you.
You could have just stared at it and gewbered it to death.:Rofl:Rofl Now that it was mentioned, I think the toads are the culprit at my shop.
Looks like frog poop to me. :)
:hesaid frog poop.

Toad
Well, the game cameras showed nothing last night, but, after looking at frog/toad droppings on the internet and reading your opinions I'm convinced that's what did it. Thank you all for taking part in this important scientific scatalogical investigation.
The releasing part was scarier than putting in the truck and transporting.Quote:

I couldn't stay up all night 'cause I had to go fishing with my grandson this morning, but I did see a plump looking frog when we got home and gave it a good squeeze. That was enough to convince me!Quote:

The droppings to me look like from a Gecko after eating crickets. When my son went to Thailand on training while in the military, he brought me one. A big one too. Since on a military aircraft, no customs were involved. This one was about 6-8" long, and as mean as can be. A Tokay Gecko I believe. He lived for probably 6 -7 years before he finally died. Tore those crickets up.
I will vote for the culprit to be a toad. I have seen the same type of droppings on our driveway and sidewalk. Never seen a snake or gecko out there, but see toads all of the time. They come and eat the bugs that are drawn to our outside lights.
