FLORIDA WANTS ITS HOMEOWNERS TO SMASH INVASIVE IGUANA SKULLS WHENEVER POSSIBLE
So much for animal husbandry. But I know, I know, this isn’t the usual circumstance. The state of Florida his now home to several invasive species. Each one is wreaking its own sort of havoc on ecosystems, properties and, of course, local species as well. But this clarion call to bash in iguana skulls whenever possible is a little new. But it does flesh out (so to speak) just how important it is to limit and get rid of green iguanas in Florida. So if you are a Florida homeowner, you already know all about this. If you see a green iguana, please go smash in its skull, killing it, if at all possible.

GREEN IGUANAS CARRY AND SPREAD DISEASE, CAUSE EXPENSIVE CIVIC DAMAGE
So why the sudden call to species violence? Well, green iguanas’ population just jumped up a lot in numbers. This is likely due to both climate change as well as shifts in local vegetation These lizards carry and spread some diseases. They can and do cause damage to gardens, sidewalks and seawalls. But that last, obviously, is of concern as ocean levels are rising everywhere. So Florida homeowners, get out there and do your civic duty! But keep in mind just kill these lizards. They’re still protected by anti-cruelty laws. For the faint of heart, trap them and then call animal control.
