I feel like this would be mildly interesting if you were in like Massachusetts or something. In Florida this is just a normal day.

Most residents of Florida are invasive and should go back where they came from.

I live in FL and I'm not killing them :( they are cute.

ThatLeetGuy t1_je8ahs8 wrote

I wouldn't kill them either. I don't hunt because I would feel bad about it lol. I just hear that they're pretty much open game year round. I think some places take them for money, even, to promote it.

I moved to SWFL last year and I’ve only seen iguanas when hanging by canals at friends houses and stuff but I’ve heard they’re major evasive. Have seen a bunch of iguanas but no gator yet lol

Fort Myers Beach is crawling with iguanas. Go on a Peace River canoe trip in Arcadia if you want to see alligators.

tinkflowers t1_je76h4i wrote

I live in fort myers— but never made it to FMB before the hurricane. I’m dying to get over there but I’m waiting a while because I know how devastated they were from the hurricane. But hey, they got that tent strip club now so I guess it’s up and coming hahaha

AbbreviationsTrue174 t1_je790mk wrote

I'm living on the beach but somehow I haven't made it to the titty-tent yet. There's a good time to be had here. Places to eat are opening up(food trucks/trailers),a few bars are open. The waters rebounded from the red tide a few weeks back. Come enjoy it

Wow you're so funny! Coming from a guy who was either just in the Florida Keys, or has a trip planned to the Florida Keys, according to one of your most recent posts. One way or another, you must love this "shitty state," and just try to be funny on Reddit.

Are you in South Florida? They are established there as an invasive species and are starting to cause all sorts of problems.

Starting to cause problems? They’ve been causing problems. You can kill them without issue.

Yes Miami. I've heard that for many years. It's unfortunate, just like the pythons in the everglades. Are you a South Floridian as well?

Sixty4Fairlane OP t1_je5kwyd wrote

We've had them for a bit less than a year and they're really fun, but I don't plan to take them to the ocean because the freshwater lake is big enough here.

nice, I couldn't imagine owning one but I'm glad you find them fun. Do you wear those neoprene shorts?

Why not? They're easy as hell.

gearslut-5000 t1_je8doab wrote

just not my thing.. I've rode some and it felt like mowing the lawn. more of a snowmobile / dirt bike / atv / motorcycle kind of guy

1

weighted_walleye t1_je9apkj wrote

Interesting, since they're pretty much the snowmobile/atv/motorcycle of the water.

gearslut-5000 t1_je9nqnu wrote

yeah but think about driving a motorcycle around a giant parking lot exclusively.. or snowmobiling around a flat frozen lake and never getting on a trail.. gets boring pretty fast.

weighted_walleye t1_jebp3lh wrote

Going fast never gets boring. I wish it was like being on a giant parking lot all the time. Clearly you've never been anywhere that waves exist.

Iguanas are cool af. Enjoy that u have been blessed with that moment.

Sixty4Fairlane OP t1_je5ptom wrote

Down here in Miami, these iguanas are all over the place. Supposedly, they're an invasive species, and that could be, but they're still cool to look at. Some of these iguanas are huge and easily over 3 feet long from head to tail.

Some people here eat them.

Ok cool! It seems to be only South Florida but they could easily be in other parts of the state.

Holmes221bBSt t1_je640jz wrote

There’s a mall (actually not sure if it still exists) in Hialeah called Westfield, formerly Westland (aka Wasteland mall 😂) that has a canal behind it by the parking lot. There were always huge iguana colonies sun bathing there. Dozens of them.

Well, I don’t have a jet ski, but I almost have where to use it, but there are russian mines floating around. “Who asked?” You may reply and it’ll be fair enough, but I think you can go to Swansea on weekend and rent a jet ski, you’ll remember it for a long time for sure.

Swansea.

Russian mines?

2 Yeah? I found on google that there is a lot of places where you can have ride on jet ski, but you should know better, I’m sure there is a lot of great places to go

3 Sadly yes. I live in Odesa and Black Sea and it’s beaches aren’t safe place to chill and swim for more than a year already.
