Green iguanas are not native to Florida. They cause significant damage to landscape vegetation, vegetables, flowers, and fruit, including the host fruit for an endangered butterfly species. Their burrows are known to collapse sidewalks, foundations and sea walls. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission encourages property ownersto remove them humanely. Also, they may be hunted on many public lands with no license or permit. Iguanas are edible, sometimes called the “chicken of the trees,” and they are especially popular as a taco filling.
Capt. Iriban, a West Palm Beach native, knows the best places to hunt the invasive spike-backed lizard, which can grow to five feet in length. A trained firefighter and paramedic, Capt. Iriban leads groups of two to four hunters, with only two shooting at a time for safety, and supplies firearms and ammunition.
“Iguana hunting is a great sport for everyone from beginners to expert hunters, and it serves an important purpose,” Iriban said. “Our trips are becoming more popular all the time. It’s a gratifying experience.”
