There's good reason why the egyptians domesticated them and kept them around the grain storage.

I used to have a stray that was feral for a long time before she adopted me and she brought me live mice and occasionally I'd wake up to a squirrel on the kitcken floor which was horrifying.

(cats do this if they think you can't hunt for yourself, lol)

Now the lizard population around here is endangered no thanks to my current wild child. I'd freak out less if she would stop bringing them inside alive to play with.
