The iguanas eat all the landscaping. They burrow in seawalls undermining them and have actually undermined foundations of ground level houses. They crap on everything, ruin gardens, carry salmonella in their poop and get bigger than 5 foot. I wish they would eat insects. I love my geckos, anoles, chameleons, Cuban curly tails and all the ones wild in the house, I have named them.He's beautiful!!! I know, I don't have to live with them. When I was a kid I'd catch lizards of all kinds and keep them for a few days. We only have fence lizards and horny toads here. Anything that eats bugs is a friend of mine...
The iguanas have become invasive here and FWC has asked people to humanely (shoot them) dispose of them. You can drive down US1 and see 100s of them on the sides of the road eating or sunning.






I had just taken Buddy out to the driveway and given him a bath with the warm water hose from the garage. He did very well, standing there while I washed him. When I went into the house for a towel, I told him to stay. He stayed in the same spot that I left him. So I toweled him off, put away the hose and then walked back in the house. I didn't give him any commands. I actually just wanted him to be outside to dry off a little bit.
