The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is hosting events to help tegu and green iguana owners get their pets microchipped before July 28.
The chip and the permit are necessary for owners to keep their tegus and green iguanas now that the reptiles are on the prohibited species list.
There are several counties that have spent loads of money trying to repair the damage from this particular species,” Fore says.
As for tegus, the FWC spends nearly a million dollars a year managing the critters.
So, they will target nests of any ground-nesting species.
