Sherry my view is that it was a BIG mistake to import https://www.caymanactivityguide.com/files/forums/topic/the first green iguanas to grand cayman. they have become widespread pests! unfortunately, they are now being seen here on the brac. they could have been brought here as pets and escaped or they could have been stowaways on the weekly supply barge from grand cayman. the department of environment is attempting to eradicate them but i see it as a losing battle. i don’t see how they can get them all so i expect the greens will be another unwanted species to contend with. bonnie and i sometime get calls concerning a green. we try to capture it for our doe people and, if successful, it is destroyed.

as a side note, green iguanas were introduced to peurto rico and they became such a pest that they started promoting them for food to reduce the numbers. how did it work? i don’t know….
