The lizards live in the grass and on stumps and brush, and we catch them by hand or using the lasso technique – @afroherper.bsky.socialwww.youtube.com/watch?v=sKdV...#FindThatLizard for you:

Zootoca vivipara is somewhere in this image, but the main thing you see is a stump covered in briars.

Basically, the lasso is a little loop of thread in a slipknot, to hook the lizard around the neck. It has a lot of benefits over hand-catching, including (as in the example above), not having to reach your hand into thorns.
