Iguanas are good BBQ'd. I have no idea about the other two types of lizards, iguana is quite tasty.

Default What about the iguana?

A couple weeks ago when I was mowing a guy was walking past on the sidewalk and said that a neighbor had called him to see the iguana that was hiding under a car on my street (probably mine!) but I never saw anything and neither did he. I live in a waterfront neighborhood, have for 4 years and never saw any before. I am concerned since I'm not sure it actually WAS an inguana and not a monitor lizard or something. I just hope he is a lone specimen and that they haven't started invading my neighborhood like they have further south in Florida! Have any of you seen any in your yards?
Did you ever see that iguana again? Or catch it? Scary!

Nope, never saw the critter again, nor any others. I am thinking maybe it was someone's pet that escaped, or someone moved and turned it loose. I really don't want to meet up with it again!

Today I nearly ran over a large lizard on N Beach Rd on Manasota Key. I thought it was a pile of leaves. It had some kind of hood that popped up as I swerved to avoid it.
