There's been iguanas down here for a long time

Adverbs of degree

that's gonna really thin them out down here

It's almost December and it's 85 degrees out.

and we just set out to try to do something

and try to make a difference in controlling it.

We love Florida, we love South Florida's ecosystem

This is kinda some of the things that they do.

They destroy landscaping, they dig holes.

They're native to Central and South America

and they were brought in in the pet trade and let go

and now this is what we have to deal with.

their sea walls because there was such giant holes.

a lot of places, you have more than one or two.

and you can just see by having 10, 15 of these guys

in your backyard, even not knowing what they do,

South Florida, there's a lot of canals down here.

They just use them as highways to disperse.

So, super competitive down here in South Florida.

We've removed upwards of 50 in one clutch.

so they'll get a little nervous when you run underneath them

There's three species that you predominantly find out here.

this just happens to be a really large male.

What, almost December and it's 85 degrees out now?

they're cold blooded so they go in a state of inactivity.

If it continues being cold, they may not recover

but there's been news articles in the past where

people think they're dead because they're frozen,

pick them up, and then they end up heating up

or you have one in your car that's alive.

So we do this to make sure that they don't harm themselves

or other animals while they're in the other traps

so they don't bite each other, scratch each other.

This is the most humane way to remove them from a property

This is not something we're doing just to do it for fun.

We really see the destruction they've been causing.
