For iguana removal


Record-breaking heat in Florida is attracting green iguanas, so much so that homeowners are now encouraged to kill the invasive species on their property.
Green iguanas are not native to Florida and are considered an invasive species. The reptile is not protected under the state's anti-cruelty law.
"Iguanas can also be killed year-round and without a permit on 22 public lands in south Florida," according to the FWC.

"It's warming things up and allowing them to go further north," he told The Washington Post.

Homeowners are even encouraged to "kill green iguanas on their own property whenever possible," according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Green iguanas are not native to Florida and are considered an invasive species. The reptile is known to damage sidewalks and seawalls, as well as ruin landscaping by digging and eating plants.

Iguanas can also be killed year-round and without a permit on 22 public lands in south Florida," according to the FWC.

FWC Commissioner Rodney Barreto did issue a word of caution for residents, saying that "if you are not capable of safely removing iguanas from your property, please seek assistance from professionals who do this for a living."

Green iguanas were first spotted in Florida in the 1960s, according to FWC, but their recent increase in numbers is likely due to climate change, the Post reported.

"I'd suggest homeowners use professional removal services rather than having people go out and start shooting like it's the wild, wild West," Wasilewski told the Post. "But if we don't do something soon, they could literally take over."
