HELP! IGUANAS FORNICATING...

Leave them be - iguanas have a right to fornicate whenever and wherever they want. If it bothers you don't watch! hehe:D

set up a webcam. Let everyone else watch. Get rich, buy more iguanas. LOL

No, no, no. The iguanas eat my crop, they need a new location.

Saucey, try planting some flowers that they like to eat - like red hibiscus - to lure them away from your crop...What is your crop, anyway, that they like so much?

how do you know it's fornication? they could have just been married and are using your vegetable garden as their matrimonial bed.

Chicken wire around your "crops" will work. I used to have raised beds and grew tomatoes, peppers, lettuce and some other stuff and chicken wire (cheap enough) kept the iggies out while overhead sunshade cloth kept the trashies out. You have to learn to work around the critters here - and iguanas have been methodically ousted from their homes for years now because of land clearing and construction.

Leaf lettuce, arugula, peas, oranges, guavas, peppers, whatever I plant! I didn't know I had 'iggies' until I started a garden. Strange creatures. The cats don't bother with them, not even an attempt to chase them away.

Thanks for the flower tip, that sounds good.

Planting hibiscus (which they do indeed enjoy) isn't going to keep them away from all the other things you've planted so don't waste time planting them. They'll just be dessert!

Once their eggs hatch you'll be enjoying the merry-go-round of rescuing the babies from the cats. You are in for SUCH fun in the future!!!

Rescue? RESCUE???

I think this is nature at play, and I will allow nature to take it's course...the cats have been here 6 yrs before the iguanas 🙂

And the cats are indigenous (?) while the iguanas are just pests because even though they're an endangered species they're upsetting your precious crop which you could very easily protect from them by spending just a few dollars on chicken wire and a few upright 2X2s or less to staple them to.

Six years a resident? I learned more in my first three years than you've obviously learned in your six. What do the kids say? "Whatever"?

If you don't give a rat's patootie about our local animals then just do what you have to do. Hey, just shoot or stomp those iggies! When they're in that mating mode they're so googly-eyed that they're just like sitting ducks. I understand their meat is pretty much like chicken!

Mind-boggling for true.

Aahhh...just what I was searching for...someone to come rescue the iggies!

OldTart, PM me for directions! 🙂

If you post them ...make sure you use that 70's style music in the background;)!

No. I've done my bit for almost 30 years now and will continue to do so but I don't go looking for rescues of any species, just deal with them as they appear. I feel badly for you that you're missing out on so much but you'd be missing out on similar things in the 'hood from which you came so there's no surprise there at all. 😀

OldTart, why have your comments become so bitter towards me? Gosh.

if you use chicken wire, make sure the holes are not too big. you dont want one to get stuck in there.

What about dear netting? Will it do any good? It's easier on the eye...

What about saltpeter?:S
