Stones & Waves releases captured Iguana
A green aquatic Iguana approximately six years old was reported to us by the San Juan del Sur Mayor’s office. She was found inside a senior citizen’s kitchen, where the Iguana has apparently been eating mice and hiding from the Iguana poachers in the area.
This species is one of the more rare Iguana left in the region, as they are the most popular for capture and illegal sale.
They grow up to six feet in length and are extremely sought after as pets in both the U.S. and Europe.
This species of iguana has been known to lay upward of 60 eggs per year with a successful hatch rate bordering on 40%.
However, illegal poaching and sales have caused severe destruction in the region’s overall population.
