And I thought the lizard invasion of Florida would only begin when the Dems launch their predictable 2004 vote recount........

So some basic math with the following assumptions, the estimate is of sexually mature adults, or of juveniles that will reach adult hood. Balanced M and F population.

1000 lizards. Assume 500 females. 60 babies each. 30000 new lizards a year.

You're going to have to find something to prey on them, or catch a WHOLE lot more than 60.

Presumably something is preying on them, at least the small young, or the whole place would have been overrun already. I think effort in that regard would be more rewarding than driving around checking traps.

The Nile Monitor uses termite mounds to hatch their eggs. They find a mound intact, dig it open, deposit a bunch of eggs, and then cover the mound with leaf debris. The termites then go about repairing their mound and the eggs are protected from predators. Pretty clever.
