I met Iggy last week...

Iggy was hanging out in a tree on the canal by the warehouse. It was a sunny day and he was enjoying himself. Out of range for my camera to take a clear picture, but you get the idea. Not a pretty sight.

Later in the week he was on my side of the canal, much closer. Easily six feet long from tip to tail. When he saw me, he did the 'neck flash' routine as though to dare me to walk over.

No thanks Iggy, I know one strike from your tail could inflict some serious pain.

I was about to post an Iggy song till I saw your pics..You would of killed me going off topic laugh

On topic..You can keep iggy uh oh laugh
My feet have been about 1 foot from a large one on a bridge in Stuart, FL.
Neither one of us seemed bothered by it at first.
Then, all of a sudden, he dashed off, after I took some pictures of him.
I wouldn't consider getting that close to a large gator, or water moccasin, however.
Come to think of it, I have been that close to a baby water moccasin, which is actually more
dangerous than an adult. They have 2 types of venom. You're likely dead, if they bite you.
I sincerely doubt the hospitals have anti-venom for the baby type.
Great photo ! you got close up and personal with that guy. I love them though, don't have them here in Ireland, only tiny tiny little ones that disappear in a second. I take my camera [small digital] with me everywhere and it's a good one, as am not techy, it produces great pics.
I thought you were going to say you took it home and put it on a lead. IGGY.
wow wonderful picture I think I will propose to iggy its that day is it not laugh laugh
RED, proposal to an Iguana?
I'm reading they make good pets.

Thanks... but no thanks.
I understand they taste like chicken.
I thought this was gonna be about Iggy Stooge. This little guy is uglier and scarier. cool
You should have tried to kill it. Introduced species like that are a nuisance. Kill Burmese pythons too.

Florida residents urged to kill iguanas ‘whenever possible’
This article is more than 10 months old
Non-native species has begun to flourish in state’s warm climate and is causing damage
I haven't seen any big lizards in Central FL yet but just heard that a big Anaconda was found North of me. Not happy about that no I'm not.
You could be fined if you randomly go out bashing iguanas. The kill must be clean (without torture) and you must remove the dead animal.
