"Reptiles of Concern."

Palm Beach County, Florida, has an iguana problem:

PALM BEACH, Fla., July 8 (UPI) -- Palm Beach County, Fla., officials are asking state wildlife authorities to classify the iguanas that have infested many backyards as "reptiles of concern."

County commissioners requested the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission take the step, which would require owners of pet iguanas to pay a $100 annual permit fee and have microchips implanted in the reptiles to help identify them among the many iguanas living in the wild in South Florida, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Tuesday.


You can always eat them, I suppose. Are iguanas good to eat? Taste like chicken, I suppose...
