What form do you use for the IGUANA TAX?

Michael Mavilia,49, of Boston, holds an iguana which he caught while on vacation in Boca Grande, Fla., Wednesday, April 12, 2006. In three decades, the resort community on Florida's Gulf Coast has been overrun by the black, spiny-tailed, nonnative lizards that demolish gardens, nest in attics and weaken beach dunes with burrows. Last month, Lee County commissioners agreed to create a special tax for Boca Grande to cover costs of studying the infestation on the barrier island of Gasparilla, where scientists estimate there are up to 12,000 iguanas on the loose, more than 10 for every year-round resident.

Fla. Island Town Overrun With Iguanas

"For some people, they've really taken over, climbing into attics, into vents and even into their toilets," he said.

County Commissioner Bob Janes doesn't know how much eradication will cost yet, so he's not sure how much the tax will be. He said the issue has finally come to a head.

"In 1988, there was talk of a program but people at that time thought they were kind of cute," Janes said. "They're no longer cute little guys. They're very pesky. They eat turtle and bird eggs and burrow into sand dunes. We could lose a lot of sand in a storm."

Kevin Enge, an exotic species expert with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, said he believes the iguana was introduced to Boca Grande in the 1970s by a boat captain who brought a few from Mexico for his kids but released them when they grew too large. Their population exploded because each female iguana can lay up to 75 eggs a year.

The lizards also carry salmonella.

1. Skinner: "Well, I was wrong; the lizards are a godsend."

Lisa: "But isn't that a bit shortsited? What happens when we're overrun by lizards?"
Skinner: "No problem. We simply release wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They'll wipe out the lizards."
Lisa: "But aren't the snakes even worse?"
Skinner: "Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat."
Lisa: "But then we're stuck with gorillas!"
Skinner: "No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death." (Edit)

2. Can we institute a Republican tax?

Or maybe find a predator for them?

We're overrun with them in Florida also.
