All you can do is make sure the wee thing is out of its misery. :( The other night I went out with some garbage and stepped on a snail with my bare foot and just ruined it, but I saw it still moving, so I thought it best to pick it all up and flush it down the toilet quickly to keep it from sufferin a long time. I'm the kind of person who will pick worms and snails up and move them, and I know what you mean by the lizards as they have the little ones in the house like that in Hawaii too. :/
Sometimes we have to forgive ourselves for not being perfect. It is an awful feeling doing something by accident, but you have no need to feel bad for doing it.
*cuddles* Awwww, my sympathies to the two of you! I trust the wee thing was put swiftly out of its misery and that you have recovered from the accident.
Had it been me, I know I would also have made the rubbing alcohol manufacturer very happy by the amount I would have used on my foot after dispatching the little lizard.
Eek, yeah :( Poor little thing, I'm glad that you were able to put it out of its misery. Mine wasn't moving after, so I just wrapped it up in a tissue...
I felt so guuuilty. but accidents and it was thankfully brief for the poor thing so! I am recovered now, but will be keeping a closer eye on where I'm about to step.
