rub the lizard all over the pinkie and try offering it to him and if that works wash the pinkie off with water then dry it and rub the lizard all over that should work,

Hi Lionel. Reeds' advice to 'scent' the pinky with the lizard is good, it should work for you.
I'd like to see photos of the house lizards (and your Garter too):)

Hi,

why you don't feed him with frozen fish: Perhaps your snake will like it more than pinkies. But you can bring a test of his excrements to the animal doctor from time to time, every half year (this isn't expensive) and you'll know in time, when your snake has parasits.

If the snake has parasits in you know it it time, so it isn't very danger. But if you don't know about that, Your animal will dye on it.
