The iguana ranges over a large geographic area; it is native from southern Brazil and Paraguay as far north as Mexico and the Caribbean islands, and have been introduced from South America to Puerto Rico and are very common throughout the island, where they are colloquially known as gallina de palo ("bamboo chicken" or "chicken of the trees") and considered an invasive species. in the United States, feral populations also exist in South Florida (including the Florida Keys), where their humane eradication is encouraged. It can grow up to five feet in length from head to tail, with some specimens growing as long as six feet.
