What do you do when this guy shows up at your party? This wild iguana climbed under the backyard fence and came to visit our BBQ last Monday. We were not sure if we should chase him away, catch him or put him on the grill! Wilfredo, a member of my church, took off his shirt to catch this LARGE iguana, but he got away. He ran up an avocado tree and blended into the leaves up above. When I went to put the dog out at night, I confess I was a little jumpy! I saw something move and thought it was this iguana coming back, but it was only some large cane toads hopping around in the dark. They are poisonous but only if you eat them. So far, we have resisted the temptation! The iguanas are not dangerous unless cornered. They can use that long tail as a painful whip and can give nasty scratches with their large claws. We like looking at them but hope to avoid any surprise encounters. You can see his tail better in the previous posting with Tina in the background.
