We will not tire of talking about the dangers of exotic species and their acclimatization in the Canaries. I attached a summary of the report we have done today.
SEPRONA In collaboration with the last day April 12, 2011 a female specimen was collected approximately one meter and in an advanced state of gestation or common green iguana, Iguana iguana , which was abandoned in the municipality of Arona. (See previous entries in this blog).
Today April 28, 2011, 16 days after their capture the female has deposited 42 eggs examined macroscopically once were considered viable and fertilized 37. All eggs were perfectly hydrated and calcified, with no mineral deposits or growths.
is important to highlight the importance of the removal of wild specimens and referred to as if he had not proceeded to capture, at present a large number of eggs would be uncontrolled and process incubation in the south of our island.
This is the second time in Tenerife is captured a female specimen of Iguana iguana eggs. The former was withdrawn on April 22, 2010 also in Arona viable and laid 9 eggs a week after his arrest, whether at the premises of the Foundation Neotropics.
The above is a picture of the lizard at the time of sunset and the next is removed once eggs.
