Starting July 1, 2020, Iguanas (
Iguana iguana) and Tegus (all species in the genera
Salvator and
Tupinambis) are now added to Section 379.372, the Florida Statute that regulates species of concern.
This change will restrict ownership, however there is a grandfather clause for animals owned prior to July 1, 2020 as well as exemptions for education as well as breeders. To learn more about your special use permit, click

The draft rules will be presented at an upcoming meeting July 22-23 which will be held remotely and you can attend by visiting
