Iguana Invasion!

In the sweltering heat of the summer, Iguana invasion is at its peak in south Florida. These pesky reptiles are not only a nuisance but can also be dangerous. They are known to cause extensive damage to properties and gardens, and can also transmit disease.

The best way to deal with iguanas is to remove them humanely and safely. There are several methods that can be used, but the most popular is trapping.

There are many types of traps available, both commercial and homemade. The most effective type of trap is the live trap, which captures the iguana alive.

Traps can be baited with fruit, vegetables, or meat. Iguanas are attracted to red, orange, and yellow colors, so these colors should be used to bait the trap.

Setting up a trap is easy. All you need is a sturdy box or cage with a door that can be closed securely. The trap should be placed in an area where iguanas are seen frequently. The bait should be placed inside the trap near the door.

Once the iguana is captured, it needs to be removed from the property as quickly as possible. It is illegal to release an invasive species into the wild, so euthanasia is the only option for dealing with them humanely.

Iguana sighting in Chicago!

Yesterday morning, a lucky Chicagoan saw an iguana sunning himself on a rooftop in the city's Wicker Park neighborhood. The sighting was captured on video and shared on social media, where it quickly went viral.

Iguanas are not native to Chicago and it is unclear how the animal ended up in the city. Some people are speculating that he was released by an owner who could no longer take care of him, while others believe that he may have escaped from a pet store or zoo.

There is no word yet on what will happen to the iguana, but Animal Control has been notified and is currently investigating. In the meantime, residents of Wicker Park are urged to keep an eye out for the exotic reptile and to not approach him if they see him.

It's not every day that you see an iguana walking down the street in Chicago, so this definitely proves to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for locals and tourists alike!

Iguana on the loose in New York City!

Reports of an Iguana on the loose in New York City have been making the rounds on social media over the past few days. Some witnesses say they saw the Iguana scaling a building in midtown, while others claim to have spotted it in Central Park. So far, there have been no confirmed sightings of the Iguana, but officials are warning people to be on the lookout.

What would you do if you saw an Iguana on the loose in your city?

Iguana sightings have been reported all over the world in recent years, but this is the first time one has been spotted in New York City. If you see an Iguana, don't try to catch it! It may be dangerous, and you could get injured. Instead, call animal control or the police and let them deal with it.

Iguanas are usually not aggressive animals, but they can bite or scratch if they feel threatened. They also have sharp claws that can cause injuries if they scratch someone.

Iguanas are usually found in tropical climates, so it's unusual for one to be spotted in New York City. It's unclear where this particular Iguana came from, but officials are urging people to keep an eye out for it and report any sightings immediately.

Iguana found in Florida!

Residents in the Florida Keys were quite surprised when they discovered an iguana lounging on their porch. This particular lizard is native to Central and South America, so it is quite unusual for one to be spotted this far north. The iguana was eventually captured and relocated to a more appropriate environment.

Iguanas are popular pets, but they can also be very destructive. They love to eat plants, and they can damage buildings and gardens. If you encounter an iguana in your yard, do not try to capture it yourself. Instead, call a professional who can safely remove the animal without harming it.

Iguana caught on camera in Texas!

A biologist in Texas captured an iguana on video last week, an unexpected find in the Lone Star State.

Iguanas are not native to Texas, and typically inhabit tropical and subtropical climates. That said, it's not unheard of for the lizards to show up in southern parts of the US.

In a video filmed by biologist Jeff revisiting a site he had surveyed a year prior, an iguana is seen perched atop a tree. The startled lizard quickly scurries away upon discovery.

"This was pretty unexpected," Jeff said in an interview with CBS Dallas Fort-Worth. "Iguanas aren't supposed to be here."

So how did this iguana end up in Texas? It's likely that it hitched a ride on a boat or aircraft, according to Jeff.

The sightings of invasive iguanas in the US have been on the rise in recent years. Florida has been particularly hard hit, with the lizards wreaking havoc on local ecosystems. In one instance, an iguana even stopped traffic on a busy highway.

While there have been no reports of iguanas causing trouble in Texas yet, officials are urging people to keep their eyes peeled and report any sightings.
