Is that an Iguana?

We left Key West yesterday morning (Friday) driving north towards the west coast. Driving along the Keys was wonderful - blue sky and different shades of green in the water - like you'd expect from a tropical reef. Lots of motorbikes coming towards us - participating in a 'Poker Run' which was to finish in Key West with a big festival for the weekend. I was looking out the window when I thought I saw 3 big 'lizards' on the grass beside the road - Iguanas??? I asked David to perform another of his (favourite) u-turns - and guess what? This is what we saw!

  2. No - they are so cute! They don't bite, they just run away - quickly. They could've stuck around for just a minute or so and posed for a photo... I wasn't going to get too close. Am I that scary?
