Quote HistoryQuoted: There has to be somebody with an iguana recipe. Come on, man! I’ve heard of iguana tacos. You need a big one to get enough meat off of. There were butchering videos on YouTube but all the reptile loving weirdo’s comment crazy death threats on them |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Remember a few winters ago seeing stories about gators poking their snouts up through the ice in ponds. Gators evolved in places where it gets cold and can adapt. Iguanas not so much I guess. What round for chilled iguana? Probably a .22 air rifle would do it pretty well.  I used to use a cheap Gamo 17 pellet rifle I got on discount. If I move back I’m getting a 22 or 30 cal PCP |

I discovered the world of Pre charged pneumatic air guns thanks to Iguana's. Well, the video I found on you tube and then the falling down that rabbit hole that followed.

I remember reading a story a few years ago about a group of Haitian guys who are picking up frozen iguanas all over the place in Miami. Turns out once they were in the car the iguanas all start waking up and driving the passengers out of the car, screaming like lunatics. Wish there was a video!

TAMPA, Fla. — As many Floridians prepare for the freezing temperatures this weekend, Florida Fish and Wildlife sent out a reminder to not be alarmed by falling iguanas.
Although the falling lizards may be startling, the FWC asks residents to not bring the wild green iguanas into their home or their car to warm up. They can recover more quickly than you think and become defensive, using their long tails and sharp teeth & claws," the agency wrote on its Facebook. When it gets colder than 45 degrees, iguanas go into a sort of suspended animation mode and fall out of trees. The green guys who are considered an invasive species in Florida are still breathing with critical body functions still operating, but they look dead. All iguanas are not created equally though. The bigger ones can be a little more tolerable of the cold weather Zoo Miami Communications Director Ron Magill told CBS Miami. Iguanas can reach up to 5 feet in length and weigh up to 20 pounds. That's close to a medium-sized dog standing up. Imagine an iguana that large falling from a tree. The cold-stunned state iguanas enter protects them until the temperature warms back up over 50 degrees again. The reptilian is at risk when temperatures remain in the 40s and lower for periods over eight hours. The Associated Press contributed to this story. |

If I did though I would make sure to have this prepped in cooler weather....

Quote HistoryQuoted: Stone crab bait. One of the ones I shot went in the blue crab trap in the canal. Maybe I should have chopped it up first because after a week it still was just a blown up iguana piñata and wasn’t stinking yet. I threw it in to the mangroves and got some chicken necks instead. But, I’m willing to give it another try |

Those owl are great pest control. Specially when I am 4 miles from the Everglades I had no idea burrowing owls had such a large range. They were cool to watch when I was stationed at Davis Monthan AFB. |

Its surprising to see so many of an endangered animal as we see here and to know they span the country |

Hunting them seems like a fun kind of thing to do.
Can anyone tell me how they fare against a hunting type dog like a JRT or other medium sized breed? It says their bite is nasty but some of the smaller game dogs are pretty quick with the thrash and kill. |

I’ve got dachshunds and I watched my dad shoot a squirrel once from a tree so my dog could finish it off. I’ve seen mine tie into squirrels unassisted and even raccoons and snakes. This completely sounds like fun! I’m kind of jealous I’m not getting to live this sort of life. |
