A female iguana freaked guests out at a Miami resort when it was found nesting in the water slide before laying over two dozen eggs. In an exclusive interview, Michael Ronquillo of Humane Iguana Control revealed, “We were called in after the resort discovered the iguana attempting to make its nest,” adding, “After escaping, the iguana left behind 30 eggs, a common sight during breeding season from February through March.”
South Florida’s iguana population has become increasingly creative in choosing nesting spots, including pools, artificial turf, and even cars. Humane Iguana Control removed the eggs but warned that female iguanas can lay up to 70 eggs annually, potentially leading to infestations. These invasive reptiles are not only destructive to property but also pose risks to human health with their sharp claws, teeth, and speedy tail whips.
