It's a thing.......

Lol

Dang global warming!

Cannot be a real thing

Good one....lol

I saw them on the world news dropping like Aspen leaves in the fall...

My daughter, her husband, and my grand daughter are going to Florida in 2 weeks. The grand daughter asked her mother if she could bring back an iguana after hearing about this? She was told she's not bringing back a wild iguana! This a grand daughter who thinks toads are cool and handles them all the time. But, refuses to fish with grasshoppers because they're icky!

Florida seems to be the poster child for invasive species. Iguanas , big snakes , cane toads , africanized bees ,exotic venomous snakes. Not to mention many invasive plants too.

Miami/Dade fire department has it's own venomous response unit. World famous , best resource for antivenom. They get requests from all over the country for antivenom serum. You would think that you would be safe from being bit from a black mamba or gaboon viper in this country , nope. Collectors ( mostly illegally) get them and bring them here. A good hurricane and where they are kept becomes compromised and they are loose.

Be law suits for them next.....I you ever have been killed by a falling iguana call this number

Animal rights activists will start knitting the iguanas sweaters next. ' you need to donate now ' lol

Lol...save the iguanas....just send$$$$$$and we will send you a picture of the actual iguana you are saving

I gotta laugh , a few years ago the state of Florida had delisted manatees from being endangered . Their numbers had recovered nicely and populations were rebounding. One thing they had noticed was how manatees spent time during the winter months in the outflow of nuclear power plants because the water released was warm.

The 'Save the manatee ' club had a fit. They said they were going to sue the state and get them put back on the endangered list. The reason was the flow of donations slowed right down from being delisted.
I say , ok , you saved the manatees , pat yourself on the back , have a big party and celebrate it. Then go home.

No , it was all about the money , not the manatees.

while all those iguanas are slow and lethargic it would be the perfect time for a culling. Green Iguanas are an invasive species that do not belong in FL and cause considerable damage.

get the pitch fork and machete , it's Green Iguana killing time.

maybe big pots of Iguana stew to feed the cold

It sure seems that way. I read recently where much of the warm-blooded creatures in the everglades have all but disappeared. They attribute a good share of this to an overwhelming, growing population of pythons.

Just like a marsh mellow,
.......iguana on a stick

I just saw people ARE actually picking them up and selling the meat, hahaha.

Yes Florida has ever invasive specie of reptile, insect, beast you can think of. Lot's and lots of stuff is shipped into their ports from
all over the world.

Yep..I saw some video were people get in kayaks and kill them with blowgun darts..

Looks like a case of "a reptile dysfunction."

I ate Florida caught iguana for New Year's Day a couple of years ago. It was okay and fairly similar to chicken.
