I live a couple hours from Miami, on the west coast. I’ve seen a large green iguana in my back yard. it surprised me when looking outside one afternoon.
 
They don’t belong in Miami. Another example of human disregard for God’s creation and order!

Since you can never tell what the weight is until you catch it you will have to wing it. …
Declaw, skin and gut.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Grill or broil till cooked through. …
Cover with lime juice and cilantro.
The meat will taste a little like, yes, chicken. …
Makes a nice meat filling for tacos.

For some reason the Iguana story hit my strange sense of humor. They sound like the Canadian Goose issue in the cooler regions of the country.
 
To me, iguanas are pets, not food. I could not cook and eat one even if I were starving.
 
Well, the Burmese Pythons sound like a real drag for residents and an actual problem, but Iguanas might actually be a charming addition to the landscape. They’re exotic and non-native, but at least they’re beautiful creatures. 🤷 Sometimes these cases of invasive species aren’t so bad. Like for instance, there are all these wild parrots in San Francisco, which are theorized to have bred out of control decades ago from escaped pets. Now when you’re walking around in that city you’ll see them or catch these extremely bright flashes out of the corner of your eye, and it’s always an agreeable, graceful sight.
