Though we have had our house since 1999, this is the first iguana I have ever seen there. I knew there must be one around because I have found a few large piles of reptile poo, but this is the first time I have seen one in our yard. We came to St. Maarten/St. Martin in 1997 and I never saw iguanas anywhere for the first 5 years at least. Hurricane Luis in 1995 helped to lessen the wildlife population on the island. 16 years later iguanas are much more common, and I am thrilled to play host to one.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4641456779857467315-878522669580122913?l=www.sxmdailyphoto.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/aHA6GRXN5bFGaj5MBYXoREPpLS4/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/aHA6GRXN5bFGaj5MBYXoREPpLS4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/aHA6GRXN5bFGaj5MBYXoREPpLS4/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/aHA6GRXN5bFGaj5MBYXoREPpLS4/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sxmdailyphoto/HkOu/~4/GBvRDub2aU4" height="1" width="1"/>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07313285626419216914noreply@blogger.com2http://www.sxmdailyphoto.com/2011/09/home-iguana.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641456779857467315.post-30900291759198601772011-08-30T07:26:00.000-04:002011-09-07T19:25:49.029-04:002011-09-07T19:25:49.029-04:00<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sxmliving/6096413538/" title="P1400499 by jess_sxm, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6189/6096413538_47d87175dd_b.jpg" width="680" alt="P1400499"></a> Possible plane spotter walking along the "curb" at Maho Beach.
