The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is considering updates to its rules regarding wild green iguanas, and they want to hear from the community.
This week, FWC is hosting a series of virtual public meetings to gather feedback on proposed changes that could impact the use of wild-caught green iguanas for sale, exhibition or research purposes.
Its goal is to allow secure and reasonable cage options for the invasive species.
The first meeting takes place tonight from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. with two additional sessions scheduled for Friday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. For more information on the plans and meetings, click here.
