Field Notes

Description:

iguana over-dose, they were pets that over-populated the island as people didn't know they would grow into a huge size (duh!), the iguanas were dumped everywhere. there was not 1, or 2, or 3, at least 8-10 of them around, but that's just tip of an iceberg.

Habitat:

perfect camouflage, sunbating at a rock pile
