May 7 (UPI) -- Reptile wranglers in Florida said they believe they set a new local record for the Miami area when they removed 98 iguana eggs from a single yard.
Humane Iguana Control said personnel responded to a home in the Miami suburb Palmetto Bay on a report of iguanas burrowing in the yard.
"We removed 98 eggs," Michael Ronquillo, owner of Humane Iguana Control, told WOFL-TV. "Three female iguanas had nested in burrows that were all interconnected, and each had laid her own clutch."
The business said officials believe the egg collection could be a new local record.

I guess I could look it up, but are reptile eggs edible?
That’s why they make pellet guns.
“98 iguana eggs from a single yard.” I personally like my eggs soft-boiled for 3 minutes.
Get some ham and cheese and make iguamlets.
Do people eat iguana meat?
I wish I was in Tijuana eating barbecued iguana.
The Dims slaughter chickens. Floridians have iguana eggs!
There’s a guy who, I think, does iguana and python hunts in S FL. He has dogs who retrieve the iguanas.
What a nightmare that would have been, had all 98 eggs hatched. Maybe the homeowner could install one of those fake Owls to light up, squawk and hopefully scare the reptiles into the next yard. Or put some D-Con poison in the bushes, and keep Fido indoors for a week or so.

Conclusion
To match the volume of a 4-egg chicken omelette (~188 mL), approximately 17 iguana eggs are needed, based on an average iguana egg volume of ~11.25 mL (range: 7.5–15 mL). The range is 13–26 eggs, accounting for smaller or larger iguana eggs. This estimate uses precise chicken egg data (47 mL/egg) and a combination of calculated and anecdotal iguana egg volumes due to limited primary data. For practical use, 17 eggs is a reasonable target, but slight adjustments may be needed based on actual egg sizes. If sourcing iguana eggs, verify their quality and safety, and consider their unique culinary properties compared to chicken eggs.
