The iguana lives inside of a concrete block at the peak of the roof---he basks in the sunshine during the day and retreats to the opening between the
block and the edge of the palapa roof line when startled. He/she does not leave droppings inside the house nor does he/she enter the house--- just
kind of creeps me out. I have an out building on the property about 50 feet away from the main house and was thinking that this might be a preferred
site at that building. How would I capture and then move him to the other building or a release point perhaps, miles away? How about a"live trap"
like the ones that are used for unwanted critters up north?

Sounds like an Iguana. A live trap may work using lettuce for bait. Used to feed them that when I had them living in left over concrete blocks behind
the house. Then plug the hole they are living in.

What the hey; if it's that much of a problem and they're not 'cute and cuddly... SABOR DE POLLO. You can buy a pellet gun in Loreto.
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!

Pelone,
It really sounds like the iguana has picked its choice location...and your second choice is simply that...."Your" choice.
Maybe you can get over the creep factor by learning more about these dragon dinosaurs and become friends....
The issue here might be that you are creeped out.,...solve that and you AND the iguana could live happily forever after.
Don't believe everything you think....

Doesn't seem to be a problem, other than that you dislike it. Like others said, get over it.

My friendly Iguana lives on my block wall and comes out to enjoy the sun then retreats between the blocks before sunset. He's been living there for at
least 5 years.
What's there not to like about them. They bother no one not quite sure what he eats. I do miss saying hello to him the days he decides to sleep in.
Maybe you should talk with him to get over the creepy feeling. With time he'll be eating out of your hand.

Spiney tailed Iguanas look like this as juveniles. They seem to turn brown all in one day when they get to be adults.
