Iguana and Python are both good eatin. The Mexicans make tamales out of them and Python grinds up like chicken or alligator meat into fine paddies , course sausage or links. Iguana also grills or stews up nicely in the bone. My Florida crew shoots them with 22 cal air rifles right out of the trees from the canals they live on. Suppressed air rifles are nearly silent and the neighbors cheer us on because the little monsters eat their gardens to death.
Python can have heavy metals due to bioaccumulation it’s best to eat the smaller ones and trash the big boys they are invasive so no harm in that.
Ask a Cajun to cook you up some reptile they have all the recipes for it already. Reptile meat is reptile meat, be gators or tree dinos or snakes.
We Texas boys eat rattlesnakes all the time. You can get it at lonesome dove bistro in the stockyards in Cowtown. They do it fired or as rattlesnake and rabbit sausage links.
Don’t they use the iguana hides for wallets, belts, etc.
