Iguana
Green iguanas are one of several exotic reptile species introduced to the south Florida area over the last 40 years. Hatching from their eggs at about 6 inches long these lizards can grow over one foot per year, reaching a maximum length of around 6 feet.In Miami these vegetarian pests have a reputation of destroying ornamental landscaping and raid flowerbeds entirely of blooms. Green iguanas are not typically aggressive but will defend themselves by biting and scratching if an attempt to handle the animal is made. Bites to people are rare and only occur when animals are harassed or fed. Wild iguanas should not be fed.. they can not tell where the food ends and your fingers begin.
