Well it seems that iguanas are prolific layer of eggs.

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.

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.

iguamlets:

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.
