There are some cultures living in South Florida that eat them.
There are enough of them that people have full time businesses "removing" these pests. They like to eat the decorative flowers. Maybe make a small backstop and plant a hydrangea in front of it.

I did consider a Machete and cut his head off.Get your axe and go viking on it

Yes, some people eat the tail. Pretty soon it is gonna be like the Keys, they are everywhere and do a lot of damage to plants and holes in the seawalls. They have no natural predators
Some business are getting started to go out and shoot them some high tec pellet rifles with scopes and tripods.

No, do not leave them be.......... They are an invasive species and killing off the native species. Just like the pythons in the Glades have killed off thousands of the native animals. The little green chameleons that I saw a kid growing up here, about 15-20 years ago started seeing less and less of them, now I see maybe one a year.

I got married in Key West at the the old fort that is now the Key West Garden Club. People were talking about an iguana that showed up and was hiding amongst the flowers. First one most of us had seen in the keys.
13 years later they were everywhere and jets were waiving off landings because of iguanas lying across the runway.

There were iguanas when I first visited Florida in the late 60s. Are they still considered an invasive species?
We have Great Tailed Grackles here that are not called invasive because they are present in other parts of the lower 48. There is another word used that I cannot recall right now. However, should you need some paint stripping, ask the local Audubon crew for their un-edited opinion of the species.
It should be an all year long hunting competition, on pythons.
I ran into a 15 footer, back in '79, just North of the 8th Street toll both, on the fairly new turnpike, from Florida City to just South of Miramar.

Yes, the iguana's are considered an invasive species. I stated that in my post at the beginning. https://myfwc.com/wildlifehabitats/nonnatives/species/ None of these are native to the U.S. People let "pets" go, hurricanes have destroyed pet shops, international commerce has brought them in from overseas.
