Now I am picturing a raccoon stashing starlight mints in a little nest made of sticks held together with Eternabond. keith_h and BradyBzLyn...Mo 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't do reptiles (except turtles and alligators) it would be my luck one would fall on me. Although it would make for a quick and easy way to clear some of them out from down there.

I especially liked this line, "The iguanas have a good chance of thawing out if you move them in the sun. Just be careful" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I especially liked this line, "The iguanas have a good chance of thawing out if you move them in the sun. Just be careful" Talking about it on the national news this morning they said residents were being told not to move them that they would be ok once they warmed up. And I'm thinking "they fell from a tree, will they really be ok?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

keith_h 420 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 They are considered an invasive species and like most of them in Florida cause quite a bit of damage. Why would you want to let them thaw out? Clean them up while they are still frozen and decrease the surplus population. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ftwildernessguy 778 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 When I was a POW in Nicaragua, the local kids sold them as food. I am sure I ate iguana eggs for breakfast more than once. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

geoffdaddy 33 Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 My daughter and I had a good time hunting tree frogs along the high banks of the canal behind the 1500 loop near the main campground road. Found two or three. Wade 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
