All over Southern Florida during the past few weeks, baby iguana hatchlings are appearing by the thousands. Iguana hatchlings no longer than your index finder are rapidly chewing up flowers and bushes, using it as energy to rapidly grow and mature. Due to the high nest hatch rate (20-70 eggs laid per nest), thousands of iguanas can emerge in a single area at once. Some of our clients even say it looks as if the grass is moving!
Unfortunately, Iguanas do not have many natural predators. When they are small, they can periodically be prey for feral cats, large birds, and snakes. However, they do not stay small for long, as once they are 18 inches or more in length, they have very few, if any natural predators in the South Florida Environment.
This phenomenon can be very overwhelming for properties. Landscaping can be destroyed in a matter of days. Luckily, IggyTrap is prepared and ready to tackle even the worst iguana hatchling crises. Our IggyMicro traps, specifically designed to catch iguana hatchlings and other small non-native lizards, are built to catch and remove them by the dozens.
