The Green Iguana or Common Iguana is a large, arboreal herbivorous species of lizard of the genus Iguana native to Central, South America, and the Caribbean. The green iguana ranges over a large geographic area, from southern Brazil and Paraguay as far north as Mexico and the Caribbean Islands especially in Puerto Rico where they are also known as "Gallina de palo" and they are very common throughout the island where is seen as an intruder animal from South America; and in the United States as feral populations in South Florida (including the Florida Keys), Hawaii, and the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. A herbivore, it has adapted significantly with regard to locomotion and osmoregulation as a result of its diet. It grows to 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) in length from head to tail, although a few specimens have grown more than 2 metres (6.6 ft) with bodyweights upward of 20 pounds (9.1 kg).

Not sure how fast they grow, so any of the ones I see now could be them still. We had a bad cold spell a few years ago, and we lost a lot of them. We actually found one in our yard that had fallen out of a tree during the cold snap, and he seemed dead. We layed him out in the sun to see if he would come around, he was gone when we came back out to check on him. I'd like to think he is still running free. I took this with my fujifilm finepix; 1/80s; FL 5.0mm; f/3.1; ISO 64. I played with this in Picasa and used the neon filter which I liked very much. Hope you do too.
