Making lemonade ....

Yeah, and they don't climb trees. They're really fast and run and dive into the water to escape. They don't let you get within 20ft. I have seen tree climbing ones but they're much smaller, I wouldn't kill one for food. Here's a vid of a puppy I had eating one.

Video: Predator

I belive they are the same we got here. They're very bright green when little with no markings. Then when they're juveniles they develop some black rings around in their tails kinda like segments. And when theyre adult the black segments fade some or totally and they turn kind of brownish/greyish color. Also their front legs turn orange\yellowish when mating season. They grow here to about 6 feet long. They love water and you could see them crossing rivers and mangrove channels. You see them here on trees especially if there water nearby. I'll try posting a pic when I find or take one.

ours climb trees too...here is a pic I took kayaking on a canal. i have seem monsters up in the trees too...big and orange

this guy is easily pushing 5ft, i've seen him at the top of palm trees

this guy is HUGE...and he's about 8 ft off the water in this seagrape tree, had to climb about 25 ft to get there.first pic gives the height and size perspective

Yeah those are the ones they're called green iguanas. Tasty critters. The best part is the base of the tail (meaty).:)

Here in P.R they're considered a pest by D.N.R . Some people say that they always been here but others say that they were brought from S.A. as pets (they were sold at pet shops until about a few years ago but now are everywhere so people don't buy them no more) others say that they escaped from a closed zoo we used to have.

Those are the ones I was talking about except I've never seen them climb. They're comfortable in the water and I've only seen them close to the water on the ground up until now. There are a lot of them.

I have some Nicaraguans that work for me that eat the hell out of those things. They call them Garrobo. They say that they are good for "Wang". I have 2 of those in my backyard in Florida. I live on a lake where there are many Coconut palms. They are easily 6 heet long.

Dale Dan comete uno.:D

They look easier to skin than slimy frogs..

I'm going to Tijuana to eat BBQ'd Iguanas, I'm on the Mexican O O Radio....

if you do this Dan, let know cos i have been thinking about eating one for a while...they are strong in your hands but i imagine they could be easily subdued with a polespear or blowgun or slingshot....i'm a pretty good shot with all three

I kill them every day with a pellet riffle, but I haven´t eat one yet. They´re a pest here as psyco said. They fool around my pool and shit just into the water (big “mojones”, human size).
If someone is so kind to show how to skin them, I promise to post the pictures of how I prepare it.

Are those native to Florida? Or, like the pythons in the Everglades, are they the descendants of released / escaped pets?

i am pretty sure they are indigenous. They, along with night monitors and gators and crocs, are all native to SoFla.
