There were lots of iguana deaths and scientist they had on news few days ago said many more might die of respitary problems.
Delray had huge die off (Miami my area not so much but we still had loses)
I was fishing Sat by air boat ride area they point out the iguanas on their tour it adds to the tour and they have seen a fraction of what they once saw.
I have seen 2 dead in water but others like in fishing forum RobWilder in Broward have also seen them.
Snakes I have not seen one but snakes arent something you see dead by a canal.
Enough igunas lived to keep going but there were lots deaths granted further north much more than the south of the state.

I havent heard about snakes. There are pythons which have been chipped by state to monitor where they go and what hours,etc.
I wonder if they lived? SnakeGuy should know

I support you .....exotics belong in our tanks not our streams and lakes , I do the same thing with Carp.....you could be saving an untold number of Golden topminnows,Bluespotted sunfish, everglades sunfish, Flagfish etc.Suetsosipel;3791928;3791928 said:
Cut em up for bait, leave them on the land, bury them for compost. Do anything you want with them unless it is to toss them back. Invasives are bad news.
Whoever it was that was trying to explain how they aren't a problem, how exactly are you an authority on this?
Think about it this way, the ecosystems that exist developed over the course of billions of years of competition. When you take an organism and put it into an alien environment you do one of two things. You either screw that animal because it cannot compete or you give it heaven on earth because it can out compete much of what is already there. The bottom line is you are creating novel ecosystems that have never existed before and regardless of what you think you may know, you really don't know jack about how the native environment is going to respond now ten years from now or a hundred years down the road.
Did you know that according to the Dept. of Agriculture that invasives are the single greatest threat to our native ecosystems. Were you aware that more money is spent on managing them than on any other ecological threat in the country per year?
Think before you speak champ, you'll come off sounding a lot more intelligent.

Are you saying that Pbass do or don't take a heavy toll on natives, because honestly, this post starts saying they don't and ends with a quote saying that they do.Louie;3792047; said:
