quote [ A group of South American lizards that can grow up to four feet long (1.2 meters) has established a home in the Florida wild after being brought to the United States as pets, and the reptiles could begin a voracious march across the U.S. South, according to a new study. ]
Now seems like a good time to talk about a border wall with Florida.

I wonder how the tegus compare to the pythons and feral cats in terms of environmental impact. |

Apparently they eat alligator eggs, which can't be good.

Can they be eaten? How delicious are they? This might be a pretty easy problem to solve.
