That’s One Big Iguana!!!

Shot This Morning on our Bird Feeder

It’s like having a small dinosaur living in our yard.
I think he probably hatched here many many years ago.
They live to be 12-15 years old and can live past 20 if they have a constant food supply
(Fruit trees) and high trees to shelter in….like we have here:)
Just sharing:) Here he is in action:)

    The biggest iguanas I saw while living in Costa Rica were at the pool at your house. They were ginormous! I cherish the memories.

    • Haha I remember that..They do look like alligators when they get like that:)

  12. Is he your pet now?

    • Well he’s like a pet just free range and loves to eat bananas and papayas (like my wild birds do”) The iguanas have always lived in our yard,.We have two acres, lots of trees so they moved in:)
