Hosts Jack and Kevin walk through the seven or eight invasive lizard species they commonly see in their South Florida backyard — from tame, charismatic curly-tail lizards and flashy anoles to larger threats like tegus and green iguanas. They share personal stories about encounters at the pool, pets chasing lizards, and surprising sightings around the house.
The episode also touches on the ecological impact of these invasives, how local climate and microhabitats help them thrive, and community reactions to control efforts — celebrating some species while calling others a persistent nuisance.
