This is my newest winter neighbor, he's kind of shy, and he didn't answer me when I asked him his name, so I just may have to name him myself.
Picture
He was pretty rude actually, but then again I can be a little OVERfriendly at times, or so I'm told...but he was checking out my office so.....
Picture
This little guy was staying at a resort across the street., doing yoga I think...he must be on vacation, and got too much sun...he seems to be peeling on his back...I told him to try aloe, but he wasn't very friendly either.
Picture
This poor child was lost, so my co-worker took it upon himself to chase him down, and bring him INSIDE so that we could try and find his parents..........( I think he really just wanted to scare the girls!) (The human girls)
Picture
And lo and behold....
Picture
Who do I see from the 3rd floor, anxiously searching for his little relative?  Out on a limb while eating ALL of the seeds?
Picture
BIG DADDY!  Or....BIG MAMA!   Really, look at it, I don't know whether to be awed by it's colorful beauty, or freaked out by it's alien, sharp dry scary looking skin (scales?), claws and teeth.  Either way, they are pretty cool to look at......!  In any case they are everywhere, we don't only have chickens crossing the road.  Seems everyone and everything just loves Key West.

I remember when we lived there my brother had a big iguana that he would walk up and down the block on a leash. "Iggy" LOVED the hibiscus flowers that grew in the front yard! Ah! The memories....;-]

Hey Dani,
What great memories! I plan to do a post on the "Iguana Man" some time down the line, do you remember him? Sounds like your brother came before him...:)

No worries Momo, you can't get within 10 feet of one, they run away, like crazy, and really, really fast! Promise!

I just want to add that I am a fresh water conch, lived in Key West from 1979 till 2005 and in that time I maybe saw 5 Iguanias but my last visit in April of 2012 must have seen thirty in 8 days, was I that blind or have they like multiplied by the thousands??

Hi Kim,
No, you were NOT blind, seeing them was rare, if ever growing up, now at the right time of day in certain places it looks like something out of a scary movie! Guess alot of people had alot of pets that got too big...!
