Despite the culling of our iguanas, a few have obviously been smarter than the guy with the gun.
Young iggy is still bright green, but he’s already learning to keep a lookout for danger.

I hope they are all able to stay safe.
I’m seeing more every day, so very difficult to eradicate. 🙂
I’ve not known too many guys with guns to be smarter than a lizard. 😝
I’m sure you’re right about that, Gunta. 🙂
Yay for the survivors!
Yep……..you can’t keep a good iguana down. 😀
Love the colouring and texture of first shot.. 😉
Thanks, Lisa. I was quite pleased with that shot through my bathroom window. 🙂
they are beautiful! i hope they stay safe! 🙂
Thanks so much, Lola. 🙂
They are handsome iguanas! 🙂
Yes, they are. 🙂
They are very good at camouflaging themselves. I think they are safe as long as they stay in your welcoming yard.
Yes, they are quite safe here. I think they know that. 🙂
Wonderful camerawork illustrates how these critters arrange themselves
so that they can do the most good. Great pictures Sylvia!
Thanks so much, Eddie. I took the photos through my bathroom window as usual. 🙂
I am glad there are survivors. Gun control seems a bit drastic. 😦
Yes, I agree with you. I certainly don’t condone the killing of wild creatures. We ahve to learn to live together but apart. 🙂
Here’s to their survival
I’ll drink to that. 🙂
Good for them!
Exactly so. 🙂
Such lovely a colour too. I do not like hunters, killing is so wrong.
I couldn’t agree with you more, Sue. Live and let live is my motto. 🙂
Yes, we have wildlife crossing into suburban living too, fortunately, possums can be caught in a cage and taken out into the bush! Good luck for your Iguanas!
Thanks, Gerrie. We had a possum here too. Not sure where he is now. 🙂
Good for them! I glad they have been such great escape artists! 🙂
Thanks, Lynette. Me too. 😃
Beautiful creatures! They’ve survived the age of time. Who’s the guy with the gun?
Yes, they are beautiful, Liesbet. Our community have voted to pay Iguana Control to patrol our area and shoot them on sight. Needless to say, we have not contributed to the cost. 😳
Who said lizards are stupid!? I suppose the guy with the gun did, but they’re showing him! 😀
Haha…….absolutely. These critters are here to stay. 😅
They looks so big.Are they dangerous?
They can be quite fierce with one another, but are timid when humans are around.
Are there so many of them around your area? Are they causing any problems? I understand too many of any thing are not good. There are so many of us too.
I agree with you about too many of us being a problem. I think there are a few reasons why some people want them eradicated but we haven’t had any problems. They just seem to laze around munching the grass.
That is a beautiful color right there.
Thanks, Laura. The young ones are such a pretty green.
Run, run! Yay! Such a beautiful color.
Thanks, Jill. I love that bright green. It would really suit you. 😍
Good for them!

Thanks, Janet. I’m rooting for them too. 😅
Well done those iguanas!
Thanks, Sue. I’m so happy to see them back again. 😃
😊😊
I do hope they can escape all danger. they are so lovely!
Thanks, dear Ute. I’m happy to see some of them survived. 👯♀️
Oh, I’m really glad they’ve outsmarted the man with the gun! 😉 xoxoxo
Me too, dear Marina. 😃😘

I love young iggy’s bright green coat. Ignatius and Igua must be very proud parents. I know they they will outsmart the “guy.” I found this interesting piece of information. “Another interesting fact is that the iguana communicate through visual gestures. With their outstanding eyesight, iguanas “talk” to each other through a series of eye movements that are easily received by others.” I have great confidence that they will “live long and prosper.”
They really are special creatures, Rebecca. They are fascinating to watch as the do their head-bobbing and waggle their dewlaps back and forth. 😃
They are really beautiful. I understand they and the pythons are real problems for Florida.
Thankfully, we haven’t got pythons here. The Iguanas really don’t bother me. I enjoy watching them. I read that the problem is caused by irresponsible exotic pet owners releasing them into the wild once they grow too big. 😳
That’s what happens. Those cute little iguanas and pythons grow into big iguanas and pythons. I’ve never had igaunas, but I’ve had various pythons.
I wouldn’t visit you with pythons lurking in the corners. 😅 I had a friend whose husband collected spiders and one day a tarantula got out. They spent quite a while looking for it and eventually found it behind the sofa cushion.
My daughter has a tarantula and a giant scorpion. I still have an 8 feet long Boa Constricter.
Well be sure to keep them safe. 😳
Go Iggy! 🤗💕💕
Yay!! 👏🏻😍
