Green iguanas are considered a problem in Florida because they are an invasive species, disrupting local ecosystems. They cause damage to landscaping, gardens, and infrastructure by burrowing into soil and consuming a wide variety of plants. Additionally, their rapid reproduction rates contribute to their population growth, further exacerbating their impact on native wildlife and habitats. This combination of ecological disruption and economic costs makes managing their population a significant challenge for Florida.
