Glue traps, I'm kinda pissed!!!

Just about a year ago, coworkers put out glue traps and immediately caught a respectably large lizard.

I was able to carefully remove it over the course of about 2.5 hours using diabetic test strips (actually the perfect tool for the job), post it notes, and "Goo-Gone".

I worked for 5-10 minutes at a time and gave 10-15 minutes to rest and not freak out.

After 2 sessions, I think it figured out what I was doing.
Breathing normalized and struggling stopped.
When freed, the lizard hung out for a bit and climbed around on my hand for a while.
Probably tired.
