    Because it is cold and they are an invasive species. Please, if you are able, kill them.

      That’s why I greased the trees.

      I had no idea they weren’t native, I knew they were around the Caribbean and from Mexico to South America so I just naturally assumed they were within their normal range in Florida.

      Our Thanksgiving tradition is to plink them with a pellet gun from the tree above my parents’ house in Key Largo. These and the Curly Tailed lizards have totally fucked up the ecosystem in the Keys.

      I’ve heard iguana on a stick makes for a viable snack if bombs get dropped on everyone

      Do you shovel the tails off the ground?

        When I was a kid and we had a frost we would go collect them (most are not dead just sort of hibernating) - no shovels required!

    Yeah, when it gets cold the trees shiver, and iguanas are too lazy to hold on tight so they slip and fall out.
