Iguana Found in Eastern Florida!

Technically, my neighbors yard. My neighbors know me as that "crazy lady with the zoo", one of them figured it was mine. He found a "large lizard" in his yard. I was at work, so he got my dad. My dad goes over and recognizes the species. A green iguana. But this ain't no baby. This sucker is about 4 1/2' long! Gingerly my father picked it up and thankfully, it was non-aggressive. He calls me and tells me he found a huge iguana and put it in the dog crate. I didn't believe it was THAT big. Get home and OMG...its not an iguana...its an igunadon! Thankfully he is calm. I think either someone lost him or he was purposefully released, either way, it was recently, because I don't think he'd be this nice and calm if he was out there for a long time. So I am putting ads out there and signs up that I found him. If no one claims him, I will adopt him out.

But of course, I have pictures! We temporarily named him Darwin








He seems to like my Pleo


And for size comparison...I am 5'2

He's gorgeous! Hopefully, you find his owners.

If he is that calm, he may not be feral. Very handsome male! I hope you find a home for him, just be sure it is someone who can afford to take care of him so that he doesn't end up being released again.

Hello,

WOW what a pretty iggy! That doesn't look like a regular green iguana to me. I am sure someone either lost him, or released him purposely.
Good luck finding the owners though.
