How to get rid of Iguanas in your backyard

26 Jul How to get rid of Iguanas in your backyard

The South Florida ecosystem is home to a number of invasive species that can cause problems for you, your family, and the environment. One such species is the iguana, which has established itself in South Florida and poses a threat to native plants and animals.

In order to get rid of iguanas in your backyard, you will need to follow these steps:

– Look for signs of iguanas in your yard. If you see an iguana in your yard or on your property, then you know that there are probably more nearby. You should also check for burrows or feeding areas, which could indicate that there are many more iguanas close by than just one individual.

– Determine where the iguanas are coming from. If they are not being fed by humans and have no other food source available on your property, then they may be coming from somewhere else nearby. This means that there may be other properties nearby with iguanas who are feeding them regularly; if this is the case then it is important to work with those owners as well so that both properties can be cleared of iguanas at once rather than one at a time (which could allow some individuals to escape back into the wild).

Iguanas are an invasive species that are wreaking havoc on South Florida. They were brought to the area as pets, but they have since escaped or been released. These lizards are now a threat to native wildlife and ecosystems. Iguanas can also be dangerous to humans if they bite or scratch.

It is estimated that there are over 1 million iguanas living in the state of Florida. These lizards can grow up to four feet long and weigh up to 15 pounds!

The mating season for iguanas is typically in the spring months, but it can vary depending on the species. During this time, male iguanas will be seeking females to mate with. The male iguana will signal his readiness to mate by flattening his body and extending his tail as far as possible in order to show off his bright colors. Once a female is interested, she will also extend her tail and allow him to nuzzle her underbelly.

After mating, the female will lay between 10-20 eggs in a nest that has been prepared by both parents. The mother then sits on the eggs for about 60 days until they hatch. During this time, both parents will protect their eggs from predators such as birds or snakes. After hatching from their eggs, baby iguanas are called hatchlings and are extremely vulnerable to predators because they cannot run well yet.
