I always thought the iguana's name was Ignacio. Or Ygnacio.

Well, now I have someone else to worry about. When I left in early May, there were three tame iguanas this size and one big one, "Don." So far this is the only one I've seen since I got back. She immediately remembered me and came up looking for mealworms.
We've had a poor monsoon season here, so there has been very little to eat, yet she looked kinda chonky. I have been assuming she was gravid. A little late in the season for that, but not entirely so.
This morning, though, I saw her trying to eat something and eventually swallow it down. Then I realized it was a date from the neighbor's Phoenix canariensis, the date palms that produce little round fruits. They are 90% hard seed with a coating of sweet fruit rind.
It's hard to believe she can pass that seed! And now I wonder if her chonk is just her belly filling up with the rock-hard seeds 😱
I'm going to ask some #herpetologist friends.

While I was sitting on the low wall feeding the light colored iguana, the other one heard me whistling, which I do all the time while feeding them to reinforce the connection, and came across the yard. I held a mealworm up at the edge of the wall and tried to get its attention, but it just kept nipping at my toes instead.
The spiny lizards, like Bill and Cutie, regularly nip at my fingers and toes if I run out of worms, but this is the first time an iguana has done it.

Given my experience with the komodo dragon, a big Gomi toy would be *squishy* even at room temperature.

Three iguanas today! This one here, which is getting pretty friendly at this point so probably will get named soon, ate more mealworms than seemed physically possible. Then it flooped out on the wall to digest.
Then Donna, whom I haven't seen in several days, and a smaller, light colored iguana that I have never seen before were cavorting in the driveway. Based on their behavior, I am suspecting that Donna is actually Don. Either way, the light colored lizard was having no part of Donna's or Don's overtures. It's a very pretty lizard and I hope it stays around.

*squeeeeeeee!!!*
New iguana! The smaller one in the background. The one in the front is Donna.I'm out of mealworms, so I went to the fridge and got some greens. Donna was about 20 feet away and took a couple steps toward me when I whistled, but stopped. The little one, on the other hand, kept coming right up to me and eventually took some of the green leaves out of my hands. Very unexpected! It makes me wonder if maybe the fact that Donna was being so chill led the little one to feel safe enough to approach. Or maybe it was just so hungry it didn't care.
I also observed something I've never seen other lizards to: on several occasions, the little one lightly licked the tip of Donna's tail. I'm presuming this is some sort of courtship behavior. I'm thinking it may turn out that Donna is actually Don.

Out cold … in Sunrise, Florida, US, conservation officials are dealing with a spate of iguanas in torpor, handed in by residents who have found the reptiles immobilised by the cold. If temperatures drop low enough, iguanas will drop out of trees and stay immobile until they manage to warm up again.

Iguana Tacos/Burritos
"For people who aren’t accustomed to cooking iguana, it is suggested that an easier route may be to
make iguana tacos or burritos.
Ingredients:
Iguana meat (cooked and cut into small pieces)
Onion
Chives
Avocado
Lime
Chili-lime seasoning
Curry or taco seasoning
Sour cream
Salsa
Flour tortillas
Directions:
1. Wash the iguana meat thoroughly after removing the skin, organs and entrails, so that just
the meat and cartilage remain.
2. Put the iguana meat in boiling water. Add onions to the water for flavor.
Let cook for at least an hour or longer, until tender.
3. Remove the tender meat from the cartilage. Cut into small pieces, separating the white and
dark meats, then season with whichever type of seasoning you enjoy in tacos/burritos.
4. Season the white meat with chili-lime seasoning, curry or any other type of taco-type spice.
5. Chop onions and chives, avocado, limes and other desired toppings.
6. Mix the onions and chives in with the meat. Then, sauté the mixture on medium-high heat
until it is soft.
7. Place the meat in the center of a flour tortilla with avoca- do, sour cream, salsa and other
toppings.
8. Wrap and enjoy.

SOMEONE is eatin' good tonight in Miami! 🤪
Miami Herald: "South Florida iguana removal companies were scooping up hundreds of cold-stunned and dead lizards Sunday in a seemingly record-breaking roundup due to the cold snap, according to local business owners."

A green iguana clings to a tree branch at Wakodahatchee wetlands in Delray Beach, Florida, US. It has adopted an orange hue because this is breeding season; its vivid colour, along with its enlarged jowls and bulging neck fan, will prove irresistible (it hopes) to female iguanas.
