Several were over 1.5 m long and when it looked as if it was going to rain they retreated up the palm trees and into the coconuts until the rain passed over and then came down from the trees again.
I've seen these reptiles in captivity so it was great to see them in the wild but surprising to see them so close to an area of high human activity. The local hotel had wire frames covering small pants with signs saying they were covered to protect them from the Iguana's.
They've been introduced to some islands in the Caribbean and are considered pests but, for me, they were great to see.
