Everything we do with our kids teaches them our values. You are essentially telling your DD that instead of stuffed animals that are toys, you can use live animals for your amusement.
If you want to experience wildlife, go for a freaking nature walk in a park. You might learn something.
Or keep the anole as a pet. They are super easy to take care of and you can model RESPONSIBILITY.

Why should I keep it as a pet? It's a wild animal that survives perfectly well out in the wild. He will have a better life outside the house than being our pet.
You people never use animals for your amusement? Never go to the zoo? Or circus? Or never bought pets? Never eat them? Don't wear leather? Please save you breath.

She's been waiting for it to hatch. Is there something I can buy at a pet store that I can pretend hatched and release it out into the back yard?
What's wrong with the crocodile idea? I mean, you did bring it up. Time to make good!
P.S. You're an idiot.

These seem like very odd values you have in your house.
My 13 yo sporty boy sleeps with a large brown bear. PP, you sound like a peevish dullard.
