Do they taste like Chicken? Just had to wonder.

[BiteYourSelf]

If I remember correctly they both died.

[BiteYourSelf]

I think I saw that more.

[BiteYourSelf]

Thanks for the info.😆

“...just accuse a Cajun of not being able to cook them properly and the problem will take care of itself.....”

LOL!!!! Tegugumbo!!

[NFHale]

6 foot iguana... holy crap, that’s why God invented eight-ball buckshot....

[NFHale]

“... might have a problem with it....”

Understatement of the month... Haha!

[Georgia Girl 2]

I think it tastes more like Kraken. 😉

” Also appealing to some as a pet. Supposedly, they have unusually high intelligence for a reptile and can learn a small repertoire of commands and tricks. “

Like mail-in voting.

I had heard of the gila monster, but had to Google it to refresh my memory.

Oh. My. Gosh. Ugly as crap.

So we have venomous, lazy and ugly as crap. Sounds like the trifecta of blech.

“No reports on tegu eating any democrats?”
—————
Have you no compassion? You seriously want to poison those poor lizards? What kind of a person are you?

“It has been claimed that democrats are bio degradable?
—————
Yeah, into bile and $hit.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

If they can be trained to eat Democrats, I’ll adopt a dozen of them.

[Tax-chick]

Probably beer.

[Getready]

You can eat em or donate to food bank somewhere....or are they disease ridden?

Last winter I saw an Iguana in the middle of my country road motionless due to the cold. Like it was frozen in like 40 degree weather.

Supposedly, they have unusually high intelligence for a reptile and can learn a small repertoire of commands and tricks.

Yes, a wide repertoire of tricks (though not necessarily "on command"), like "Sink your teeth into my ankle," "Sh*t all over the carpet," "Devour the pet dog," and "Go into a torpor underneath the kitchen sink for six months."

No thanks!

Pretty sure I would want more than just a pellet gun.

Nasty looking thing.

"Either way... just accuse a Cajun of not being able to cook them properly and the problem will take care of itself..."

And tell a Cajun the bag limit is one.

[NFHale]

That is bizarre...

When I think “Iguana”, I think rain forest, jungle... not asphalt...
