Visitors flock to its shores year-round, seeking everything from luxurious resort stays to adventurous explorations of its natural wonders. However, amidst the palm trees and the vibrant local culture, an increasingly common sight raises a question that many first-time visitors, and even some long-time residents, often ponder: are iguanas native to Florida? The unequivocal answer is no. These large, often brightly colored lizards, predominantly the green iguana (<em>Iguana iguana</em>), are an invasive species, and their presence has significant implications for the state’s ecology, economy, and even the daily lifestyle of its inhabitants and the tourism industry that underpins much of its appeal.</p>
