FL wants them dead. Even made it illegal to trap them as pets. Just wait for the cold snap, they will fall out of the trees. Then it's start the riding mower or sand wedge.
Check your County, there might be a bounty on them like the Berms. |

I once fell into a random rabbit hole of watching videos on youtube of a dude with some kind of crazy high powered air rifle shoot iguanas out of tree like a sniper for like 5 hours.

View Quote Thank you for posting this, I’d iguana hunt with her any day Seriously though...those things are huge and I didn’t know they could swim like that. |

Invasive, non-native species, terminate with extreme prejudice.

Quoted: My three nieces living in west palm area had a wonderful easter hatching of baby ducks in their back yard. One day while enjoying the fl sun watching their new pet ducks play...a large iguana showed up and promptly massacred the entire flock. I would take the time to figue out how to skin then out and cook them just in case you need that skill fown the road. View Quote I’d be willing to bet they were muscovy ducklings, another equally disgusting invasive species. |

Kill and feed to the gators. Fuck that I'm not eating that shit (and most of you are liars).

Quoted: In 1994 Mom and Dad moved to Cape Coral for Moms retirement home job. One time of the iguanas running across the brand new pool cage tearing up the screen was enough for my parents to buy air rifles and kill the fuckers. When they moved to Port Charlotte a few years later squirrels took priority... View Quote My friend in the Cape shoots them off his seawall all the time. Kerplunk in the drink for turtle food. |

I'm a little jealous of OP. I'd love to kill every afternoon in the backyard with an air rifle smoking those cold blooded fools (and I'm actually a reptile nerd).
|
|
Damn, I was dreamin' about hunting wild boar in Texas. These little fuckers could be a great retirement passer of time.
|
|
I love reptiles, and still would not hesitate to wipe out these or any other invasive species.
|
|
Kill every one of them. Falling out of the trees is usually due to cold temperatures. A few years back Sanibel and Captiva Islands had them dropping all over the place due to the cold temps.
|
|
Use a shotgun. Direct your fire such that the spray and chunks are propelled out over the lake to feed the fish and gators. It’s nature’s way

Primer only .22 long rifle, it’s quieter than a pellet gun without a suppressor.

Forty years ago a dozen twelve year olds with pellet guns would have made them a rarity.

I wish I had animals like that in my AO I could hunt all year and actually eat. Coyotes arent the same, not eating one of those things!

Quoted: Iguana-on-a-stick is a well known street food in the wastelands. Maybe give it a try. Before you start blasting away, I'd check on legality. If legal and safe, then the only question I'd have is what round for Iguana? View Quote Don't get it from Iguana Bob though... That aint iguana. |

And I thought killing sparrows was fun.
This sounds like a blast. |

When I lived in Florida there were quite a lot of rules and regs about 'how' you could kill them; some techniques could get you into a lot of trouble if you did it in a way they could accuse you of causing unnecessary suffering, or some bullshit.

Mad Max ate their little cousin.
You’re a fag if you don’t stomp them under a leather boot. |

Quoted: My first thought. There have to be tons of people that would buy them. This is America! You can sell varnished dog turds on e-bay, must be able to sell exotic pets like this. View Quote You can check out pricing here: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=74 Typically buyers don't want wild-caught/field-collected reptiles unless they're looking to bring new pure blood or genetics into their lines, and then they will be very picky about what they buy. The mutts running feral in Florida won't count. Once you get them they'll also need to be acclimated to handling and treated for parasites. |

Quoted: Iguanas are vegetarians. They won’t be eating any eggs. View Quote The Florida website for dealing with iguanas even says they eat nestlings and eggs... https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/in528 |

Shoot the MFers with no concern for the morality of it if they are a threat to the birds you describe.
|

I’ve read a couple of articles (past 1-2 yrs) that suggest “managing” the population.

This looks awesome.
