Green iguanas are getting pretty rare around here. THe government is offering five dollars a head for this invasive species. I saw this one the other day, first one in a long time.
On the other side of that coin, the Cayman Blue Iguana is (was?) the most endangered reptile on the planet (I think that’s what I was told.) They can breed with the greenies and they aren’t blue iguanas anymore.

AAaaaand it’s supposed to be nice weather today, scooter day. Have a pleasant day.
The rarer the greens, the more they should bring in bounty. That is until people start bringing them in from other places for the money.
The greens are in the ‘kill on sight’ category. If there were none, all would be well.
Same thing as lionfish, all the divers are encouraged to cull them. Spearguns are illegal in the Cayman Islands, except the ones D.O.E. issues, and you’re allowed to shoot only lionfish.
