Iguana in our backyard

There is a green iguana living in our backyard.
Between 2 and 3 feet long I would say.
I got within 25 feet of it today with a long lens on my Pentax K10D.
Lens was an old style Vemar f:5.5 / 300 mm with T-Mount, manual focus and manual "preset" type aperture rings.
Shots were handheld, camera set to ASA 800 equivalent, Aperture Priority mode with shutter speeds coming up between 1/200 and 1/500.
NO, iguanas are not native to Missouri.

It was probably someones pet. Poor thing, hope he finds a good home.
He looks healthy. Or perhaps she is with babies and will"bless" you with a new family.

Poor thing! Someone got tired of it and let it go probably. Mary

He's a beauty! You should rent 'Night of the Iguana' or listen to an album of The Iguanas' music in his honor.
