South Fl herping

I was out working during the week, and came across these 2 iggies. I've spotted one of them about2 years ago, but thought nothing of it. A recent string of newpaper articles brought up the iguana infestation down here in south florida, which sparked my interest.

So i went back to the spot where I most recently found them, and there they were. I think they are a breeding pair, because one of them was doing that head bob thing that male garden lizards do (i dunno I'm just assuming.) This is the smaller one... the one I think is a female. I couldnt get much closer. We were on the edge of a canal, with no bank and from the road it was a steep 10 foot fall to the water. I got pretty close to this one but the other one took off quickly.

Nice picture. Pretty cool to see it in the wild eh?
