A Southwestern Florida community facing a reptile overpopulation problem is taking drastic measures.Residents in Lee County said they are being overrun with iguanas.
There are so many of them that the County Commission has decided not to protect the lizards so people can get rid of them.
Commissioners voted Tuesday night to allow Lee County residents to use any means necessary to reduce the iguana population.
Officials said iguanas outnumber people on Gasparilla Island 10 to 1.
The best part about this is that I actually witnessed this while I was on my vacation in Florida back in May.....we went to Gasparilla Island and there were a BUNCH of Iguanas and we talked about the whole issue. Now it's national news......crazy.
