Hi there, yes this is true there’s actually a bunch of people that eat iguanas in Florida.

Yes it is lol, thanks for watching 🙌

Hey there Deepharrow8520, iguana poop is only one of the issues when you have iguanas roaming around your property. Burrowing is a much bigger problem ( look up dam collapse due to burrowing costing west Palm beach 1.8 million dollars in repairs. And this also happens around homes, we have seen sea walls collapse due to burrowing. Impact to native wildlife is another issue since iguanas outcompete our native species. Not sure who doesn’t care about duck poop as there are a ton of forums with people complaining about this. Now, we have noting against iguanas they are actually very cool, but we need to do our part on conserving and protecting our ecosystem. Same as people removing Burmese pythons from the Everglades and lion fish from the ocean in the Florida region. If you would like more info on this topic shoot me an email. Thank you,

Early?

Thank you!

Great feedback! Thanks, some properties do not allow that method so we have to take the slower route lol.

Hey thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.

Lol

Hey there, they actually do impact the environment. 1) They cause plant damage and eat native plants which our native species depend on to survive. 2) Iguanas cause structural damages due to burrowing ( look up 1.8 million dollar damage west palm beach iguana burrowing) 3) Iguanas defecate frequently in pools and public areas which can cause illness to humans and pets due to possible salmonella poisoning. 4) It’s been documented that some iguanas mostly black spiny tail feed on native animals and their eggs. And much more…… If you would like to learn more, send me an email and thank you for the feedback hope you enjoy our channel! Take care,

@@humaneiguanacontrol That's terrible!

@@ainnochaim9450It really is, it’s not the iguanas fault that they are here but we have to help our ecosystem.

Exactly!

Really? I have never seen that sign down here in Miami. Thanks for the message! 👍

Thank you 🙏

Unfortunately they have to be dispatched due to the fact that it is illegal to relocate them.

​@@humaneiguanacontrol Yes, it's true. It could get worse if relocated and could ruin Florida s native plants and bugs.

Thank you for the positive feedback 🙌

​@@humaneiguanacontrolwelcome 😊

It was playing possum 🤣

I appreciate the feedback! 👍

Hi there, I appreciate your feedback and will definitely acknowledge your opinion to better our RUclips channel. I am also sorry to hear that you unsubscribed. Which part did you not see the iguanas caught? Thank you

👍👍👍👍

After being euthanized, wild caught iguanas are utilized by crabbers. Iguanas from urban areas are loaded with pesticides from consuming sprayed vegetation, these iguanas are responsibly disposed of to prevent human exposure to pesticides.

@@humaneiguanacontrol that is an excellent idea on what to do with them

Looks like iguana man has some competition

Wow, which species of iguana ?

Hi Greg, unfortunately we had an issue with our video and it did not capture the removal of iguanas from the trap.

Amazing they are, but they are destructive. I can send you more information if you’re interested.,

Jus korn?

They can possibly damage or cause issues to solar panels on roofs. - Their sharp nails can damage the panel's surface. - Excess droppings can obstruct sunlight. - During winter months, iguanas can fall from trees, potentially damaging the panels. - Depending on the panel quality, iguana urine/droppings, which is acidic, can cause corrosion. - If wires are exposed and happen to be colorful, iguanas can mistake them for a food source and chew on cables.

@@humaneiguanacontrol. I do not see them harming frames or glass but yes to leads and trunk cabling. Thank you for your reply.

Hi there, no we do not eat them. It is sad, but we need to protect our native species. Thanks for the feedback.

There excellent swimmer and can hold their breath for up to 20 minutes 😳. Thanks for watching, make sure you share to spread awareness.

That is correct! We were able to prevent a new infestation around this community. Thanks for watching, make sure you share to spread awareness.

You know it was a weird occurrence, it laid the eggs and never returned! But we were happy that we were able to remove all this eggs! Thanks for watching, make sure you share to spread awareness.

Thank you for the positive feedback! We have been very successful thus far helping out communities, schools even cemeteries 🫣. We are working on assisting areas where native animals live such as burrowing owls so they are not impacted by iguanas. Thanks for watching make sure you share to spread awareness.

@@humaneiguanacontrol definitely sharing and spreading awareness to my relatives and friends.

@@enjoystravelingI truly appreciate it, it’s important for everyone to be educated about invasive species.

They really are cool reptiles! I wouldn’t say the least damaging invasive species due to damages to infrastructures and impacting endangered species such as the burrowing owl. Check out this article when you have a moment, it’s about how iguanas cost the city of West Palm Beach 1.8 million dollars due to burrowing. www.orlandosentinel.com/2020/01/21/pesky-iguanas-cost-florida-city-18-million-in-emergency-repairs/

Iguanas are definitely a very destructive !!!! species, as he already said they’re displacing some native species, such as the gopher tortoise and more!, The iguanas are not native to Florida, and they are eating peoples plants and also even destroying some of the roofs and getting in the houses and even people who have apartments and houses near the canals the iguanas are digging and destroying the ground that’s near the apartments. Iguanas also eat the ducklings eggs and when there’s iguanas in the area, you don’t see baby birds anymore!!

I agree

I disagree

Thank you 👍👍👍

Hey @Herbyshanz, some people do but we are just here to help residents and the ecosystem. 🙌

This is correct, many other invasive species such as the Burmese python which is impacting the Everglades and there are python hunters working non stop to remove them. The decline of certain native species in the Everglades is very alarming. This goes as well for the lion fish in FL, there are thousands of divers out there doing their part by removing them. As for iguanas, we have helped countless people that have been impacted. Some of these people have actually been injured due to burrows, seawalls have collapsed and their dogs have gotten sick due to salmonella poisoning which in return got a very expensive Vet bill. Now do you think it’s smart to turn a blind eye to invasive species and let our native endangered species be impacted? You mentioned income, yes as any other person we need income to survive, but helping the ecosystem is priceless.

Hi there, thank you for your feedback. We actually don’t detest iguanas. Not sure if you have done your research but iguanas are not native to South Florida so they do a lot more than just eat plants. Iguanas outcompete native species for food, cause property by digging burrows and can spread diseases and bacteria. Did you know that iguanas were digging burrows under a dam which caused it to collapse? It cost Palm beach 1.8 million dollars in repairs. So they also impact the economy where they caused damages. If you would like more information about the negative impacts from iguanas send us a direct message. Thanks @mobius03692

Iguanas are very destructive!!! They are displacing some of the native animals of Florida such as a tortoise and a burrowing owl. They also eat some of the eggs of ducks and other birds, when they’re iguanas around then you don’t see baby birds anymore or ducklings

Me too

@@enjoystravelingThis is 100% correct! Thank you for the positive feedback.

David that you very much for sharing that story, I truly appreciate hearing the history from personal experiences! The iguana infestations throughout South Florida has been pretty bad especially due to female iguanas being capable of laying up to 70 eggs year. Thank you again and I hope you subscribe to our channel, we will be adding new podcasts weekly, our next episode is about our wild encounters in homes. Have a great day!

As you probably know, the brown lizard is displacing the native green anoles.

I haven’t seen the wild parrots yet, but I live in northern Florida, but I’m guessing they’ll take over some places soon because I had lived in another place which used to not have parrots and then there was a lot of escape pet parrots and they took over areas and displaced some native birds and then made The train station and trees very dirty !!

Those brown angles have pushed out the green anoles.... However they have mainly pushed them up into the trees instead of finding them in bushes now.

Thank you, I appreciate your positive feedback, new episode drops this week! 🙌🦎🙌

Appreciate it 🙌

Hi Ileana, it’s not suitable to turn a blind eye to non native species that impact our ecosystem. Just like the lion fish and Burmese python which are both impacting our ecosystem in a negative way, iguanas also play a role on impacting Floridas wildlife. If you would like more information, send me a Dm thank you.

You are not very smart are you kid

There is many people in south Florida that do eat them.

Ranas? 🐸

If provoked they can bite to defend themselves.

@@humaneiguanacontrol it doesn't really look like they have teeth though 🤔, do they have venom or something? Or do they actually have teeth?😬

They do have razor sharp teeth which they use to cut through plants and fruits. Iguanas have venom glands, but their venom is not known to be toxic or venomous. I appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching. 👍

Very!

All fruits work really well, we use mandrin.

You can find various poles on Amazon or the web

We actually carry two rifles with us during our removals, one for short distance and one for long distance. It has worked out great using this method.

Unfortunately down here in Florida there’s hundreds of thousands of them. They impact our ecosystem and our native species in a very negative way. That’s great you have them as pets especially a yellow one! 👍

Up to a point yea, female iguanas can lay up to 70 eggs in a year. The issue is there digging abilities can cause structural damages and the constant poop can cause Heath risks. In West Palm Beach they cost the city 1.8 million dollars in damages due to digging burrows 😅

Thanks
