Iguana invasion: Florida residents on alert

As the temperatures continue to rise, iguanas are starting to invade Florida neighborhoods. The lizards are coming out of hiding in search of food and water, and they're not afraid to cross roads or venture into homes looking for sustenance.

Florida residents are urged to be vigilant and keep an eye out for iguanas, as they can be aggressive when threatened. If you see an iguana in your neighborhood, don't try to catch it yourself--contact a professional instead.

Iguanas are not native to Florida, and their presence is cause for concern among local residents and officials. The lizards can spread exotic diseases, damage infrastructure, and compete with native species for food and territory.

efforts are underway to eradicate the iguana population in Florida, but so far they remain a problem. In the meantime, residents are urged to be vigilant and keep their homes and yards free of potential food sources that might attract iguanas.

Georgia family finds iguana in their pool

A Georgia family got an unexpected swimmer in their pool over the weekend when they found a four-foot long iguana swimming in their pool. The iguana, who was likely looking for food and shelter, was unharmed and was returned to its natural habitat.

While uncommon, iguanas have been known to wander into yards and pools in search of food and shelter. Iguanas are not aggressive animals and will typically flee if approached, but they can inflict a painful bite if provoked.

Experts warn of iguana population explosion

Experts are warning that populations of iguanas are exploding in parts of the United States.

The non-native lizards, which can grow up to five feet long, have been enjoying a population boom in recent years as they spread from their native Central and South America into southern U.S. states such as Florida, Texas and California.

Iguanas are considered an invasive species in the U.S., as they compete with native animals for food and habitats, and can also be carriers of salmonella. They are also destructive to infrastructure, vegetation and homes.

In Florida, where there is the largest population of iguanas in the U.S., state officials have been working to control their numbers by using traps, hunting them down and destroying eggs. But some experts say this may not be enough, and that more drastic measures may be needed, such as culling the animals or vaccinating them against salmonella.
