It's good to be king, once in a while...

When I saw these Iguanas, that Tom Petty song popped into my head immediately I know the foreground sux but I had already chased them nearly an eighth of a mile down the river bank and each time the stopped, the surroundings were even less ideal than the time before. What initially struck me was the coloration and I was trying to guide them to the rocks, but they'd have none of it.

Neat shot and cool colors.

I assume that the main Iguana is a male in breeding form.

Those iguanas will be in a pet store somday. Alot of pet trade iguanas are caught in S. florida.. just thought I'd share that

Great image!

The photo gives no frame of reference, but that male was easily over 6' from nose to tail. The adults do NOT make good pets! Down here we have the same overpopulation problems with them as you guys do with deer in NJ/PA

I had him pegged at 5' + and understand the huge ones are nasty as all can be.

I breed reptiles and know a few guys in s florida that catch 100-200 a night at 3-20 a piece in the spring.

We had huge herds of deer in my area a few years back, but white buffalo and opening areas to hunting have decreased that. I do indeed see a deer everyday as an arborist, so they are still over populated in some areas..... sadly.
