| The occasional heron or egret cleaning out a few fish is no longer a surprise.
But I've been noticing that waterlily pads are disappearing. The stem will still be there, but the entire pad will be gone. This morning I caught the culprits in the act. Our baby iguanas in the yard have discovered the waterlilies, and they like them! a lot! I had a long talk with them about this, they agreed, then completely ignored me. LOL Now what to do? relocate them I guess. I've never had iguanas eat waterlilies before in my life. |

| Cool, baby Iguanas, you can relocate them, but how many do you have? I hope it's not like trying to relocate birds.:) |

| If I had baby iguanas I'd let them eat the water lilies.. matter of fact I'd probably put in an extra lily pond just for the iguanas!!! hahaha Seriously, I'm sure it is frustrating for you Corrie. Hope you find a good home for the iquanas. Be sure to have someone video you trying to catch them! We love pictures and videos - the more embarassing the better. :-) |

| Hi You MUST be in florida lol. So far have not had iguanas but just about every other "introduced " species especially Cuban tree frogs and Cane toads. The exceptionally cold winter certainly thinned them out but certain it didn't eliminate them.lol Among those I hope never show up are Pythons ,Anacondas Paranhas and monitors. Those would be a REAL problem lol gary |

| LOL thanks Anne! I don't have a problem catching them, they are used to me. How many do you want?? LOL C&J, my best guess is a neighborhood full of them right now. Gary, I'm south of you, in the Keys. We also have a neighborhood croc that lives in a neighbor's back yard. You want her? It's always something, isn't it? It's usually the racoons that mess with the ponds. This year the racoons finally got bored with it, and now it's the iguanas. Corrie |
