IGUANA HUNT CHARTERS🦎 A UNIQUE AND FUN HUNTING ADVENTURE. ● Max 3 persons per boat! However, if more than 3 we can accommodate a 2nd or 3rd boat for your group. Ask Captain Experiences for more details. Green Iguanas are not native to Florida and are considered invasive species due to their impacts to native wildlife. The Green Iguana is native to South & Central America, Mexico, and some islands of the Caribbean but, once again, because of the popularity of the iguana in the pet trade, they have become invasive in South Florida, Hawaii, Texas, and Puerto Rico. Iguanas are a big problem in Florida as they cause damage to commercial and residential landscape vegetation. Most property owners consider these reptiles as a nuisance. These animals are mostly attracted to plants with flowers, foliage, or any kind of vegetables, and they destroy them. HOW THEY GOT HERE Florida's first green Iguanas likely hitched a ride on Cuban cargo ships transporting goods to Florida. Soon after their arrival, the herbivorous lizards reproduced rapidly and established themselves throughout South and Central Florida. CAN YOU EAT AND WHAT DOES IGUANA TASTE LIKE Iguanas are referred to as the "chicken of the trees," by iguana eaters, because they are said to taste " like chicken ". Many people enjoy the meat from iguanas because of the high levels of protein it provides. In fact, iguana is a pretty lean meat and contains more protein than chicken. It's a common delicacy in Mexico, Central and South America — and in trendy U.S. restaurants that cater to anyone craving a lizard entree. Iguana gourmets in the U.S. are sometimes immigrants from other countries looking for a taste of home. WHY DO PEOPLE HUNT IGUANAS They are invasive and they cause damage to seawalls, sidewalks, landscape foliage and can dig lengthy tunnels causing millions in damages to residents and businesses. Also, they prey on the vulnerbale native Burrowing owls by eating their eggs and drive them out of their homes. Non-native iguanas are multiplying so rapidly in South Florida that a state wildlife agency is now encouraging people to kill them. Book your ultimate hunt adventure! Enjoy and have fun while helping to remove South Florida invasive species. Read More
