Sarah was doing her school work today when she heard a splash, looked out the window and saw a big iguana! It seemed to be hiding from another one that followed right behind it. Tina ran and took these photos. Tina thinks that the one in the water was the female as it was darker and had smaller back spines. It seemed like it was trying to keep away from the greener iguana. I was returning home from teaching at our Bible Institute, so she had to handle the situation by herself. She tried chase the darker one away, but it would not budge. Finally, after the greener one was chased away, the dark one made its move and dived for the underbrush. They like to climb our avocado tree and keep an eye on things. We don't see them often, but it sure made today a bit more exciting!

These two uninvited visitors really make an impression on you when you see those sharp claws and dorsal spines up close!
