Loulabelle:
Iguanas have aquite wide range of reactions to humans. Juvenile iguanas are usually (usually) quite skittish. But iguana puberty can be absolute hell...particularly the males, though not only the males, get very agressive when they first go through sexual maturity.In most cases, the agression is sesonal, and tends to moderate as they get older. But yeah, there are quate a large number of male iguanas that have been known to trail their women owners and/or try to latch on to mate with them when said owners are having their period.
In general: iguanas are not originally native to Florida, but escaped or "released" former pets have established feral and wild populations in portions of Florida, particularly the southern portions. On a couple of the keys, there's quite a problem, as they like to munch people's gardens.
If you know someone that wants to off-load a pet animal, please direct them *not* to release the animal. It isn't "humane", in places other than Florida, (and even for the most part, even in Flroida) it will lead to the slow death of the animal, and also in the vast majority of places it is flat-out illegal. Direct them to a reptile rescue agency, or local humane society shelter.
