Although a nice photograph, this is not really "Florida Wildlife". It is an invasive species taking over due to people releasing "pet" iguanas. Florida wildlife officials recommend killing them whenever possible.
The Hunt in Florida
It's legal to kill iguanas in Florida, since the invasive reptiles can destroy native plants and wildlife. But state law dictates the killing must only be in a humane manner. Experts recommend accomplishing this by shooting iguanas with pellet guns, stabbing them in the brain, or decapitating them without having them suffer. Although freezing the animals was once allowed, it's now illegal, along with drowning and poisoning.
