got into a discussion about Florida's invasive species the other day ‘ I was thinking the non native Pythons , feral hogs, monkeys, nutrias and parrots were much worse the the iguanas I understand now there is a big push to eradicate the Iguanas ? I think it’s a waste of time and effort !
They're supposed to be delicious grilled up. Like chicken. Haven't tried it but have seen some social media videos of barbie'd up iguana and mmmm.... looks amazing.
There is a lot of YouTube videos of people who make a living shooting them with airguns.
Always Think Like A Fish.....No Matter How Weird it Is!!
They do a number on infrastructure = walls, foundations, roads. I saw a stat once on the estimated amount of damage they do annually.

One of my best workers ever, Enrique...that man loved him some iguana tacos! Wish now I would have took him up on his many offers having one.
They are just like a chicken except for the extra set of legs, and a longer tail and lack of feathers. Oh and they will whip you with their tail but other than that they are just like a chicken.
Hi Mike.
Our Squirrels don't mind them so much anymore, takes the heat off them.
You can add it to the Sunday BBQ of manatee brisket and hot Flamingo wings.
Hi Mike.
Yea, its a lot of millions
I was in the Ft Lauderdale area fishing some canals late January and saw so many iguanas. Every spot I pulled up on there were 5 to 10 of them sunning on the bank. Way more than I see squirrels here.
In an urban environment like that, I can't imagine there being too many predators to control their population so sure, I guess it is a big deal there.
Mike Rowe did an episode of Dirty Jobs doing just that. Looked like fun.
Maybe the colder weather of this past winter slowed their take over a little.
Everywhere in the Keys. And they poop - and I mean a lot.
I bought my son-in-law a high power pellet gun to knock them off at his place. They are tearing up the bulkhead grass. You'd think the gators would eat them.
Bring in more pythons to control them
we can feed the homeless
I used to have a friend who had one for a pet. It was sort of like having a cat around the house. Very tame
Don't worry Ma'am....
I'm only here for the Bass.
