Green Iguana

A Florida man is making his mark on Tampa with handmade hats. Ash Dudney is one of the only creators in the state and hunts invasive species to use as adornments for his unique pieces.

Florida’s Prohibited Species List now has 16 new high-risk nonnative reptiles added. They include Argentine black and white tegus, green iguanas, Nile monitor lizards, Burmese pythons, reticulated pythons, and green anacondas.

The FWC approved draft rules in July that would change the listing for “conditional” species, like Burmese pythons and Nile monitor lizards, to "prohibited."
