It seems here in south Florida our wildlife is growing with animals that were not here 40 years ago... in addition to our alligators, we have iguanas, crocodiles, boas, and monkeys... we probably have more than that, of course, not to mention the incredible and enormous variety of bird wild life... we live on a large lake here, and we have herons, igrets, sea gulls, king fishers, ducks, hawks, and some others I can't name, they hang out here like some sort of bird sanctuary, it is kind of nice, they eat the abundance of fish in the lake...

ROFL, the owner was petting his iguana as though it were a puppy. They seem very docile although reminiscent of pre-historic creatures in appearance. Evidently they're considered an endangered species in Mexico due to the exotic pet craze. The iguana's habit of sunning themselves daily for many hrs makes them easy prey as lunch for other animals or for human capture. They frequently have a lifespan of 15-20yrs. The green iguana often loses it's vibrant color as adults, and can grow to 4-5ft long. Has anyone ever tried to saddle them & take a ride?
