First record of the spiny-tailed Iguana Ctenosaura similis (Gray, 1831) (Squamata: Iguanidae) in Venezuela. Fitch HS; Henderson RW, 1978. [5][4] It is commonly found throughout Costa Rica, Honduras and has been reported in Colombia. Similarly, during January to April, 67.3% of all females contained vitellogenic follicles or oviducal eggs, compared to 3.8% during the rest of the year. However, the presence of thousands of free-living ctenosaurs in Florida means that they can be trapped and moved to new locations. Journal of Herpetology, 7(1):27-33.

Thus, in Nicaragua, eggs are laid during February to March and hatching is mostly in June (Fitch and Henderson, 1978). Tallahassee, Florida, USA: Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, 524 pp. For years, most populations of C. similis in Florida, USA, were misidentified as Ctenosaura pectinata until field collections and close examination of museum specimens revealed the true identity (Townsend et al.

Clutch size increases steadily with age and size; a maximum clutch of 88 eggs has been reported (Fitch and Henderson, 1978). [5], Black spiny-tailed iguana have distinctive black, keeled scales on their long tails, which gives them their common name. C. similis appears to grow more slowly in Florida, USA, than in Central American sites 1500-1800 km farther south.

Tamsitt JR; Valdivieso D, 1963. The recent appearance of ctenosaurs in Venezuela (Barrio-Amorós and Rivas-Fuenmayor, 2008; Flores and Esqueda, 2008), presumably through hitchhiking on ships, demonstrates the on-going potential for the species to spread to new areas. Ctenosaurs move freely off Gasparilla Island via causeways, are carried off the island incidentally by vehicles, and are taken purposely off the island by people. Prevention is the best approach to invasive species management. Ontogenetic plasticity of food habits in the Mexican spiny-tailed iguana, Ctenosaura pectinata. In Costa Rica, lyre snakes, Trimorphodon biscutatus, appear to specialize as predators of C. similis (van Devender, 1982).

[8] They are known to eat the fruit and live in the limbs of the manchineel, a tree highly poisonous to most other animals.[9]. [6] Although coloration varies extremely among individuals of the same population, adults usually have a whitish gray or tan ground color with a series of 4–12 well-defined dark dorsal bands that extend nearly to the ventral scales. In: Herpetotropicos, 4 (1) 41. In Collier County a private landowner released between 5-30 lizards on his property on the southern end of the Keewaydin Island in 1995 (Krysko et al., 2003). Since 2008, Florida residents in areas beset by populations of C. similis have self-imposed taxes totalling in excess of $250,000 to hire professional trappers to control these invasive animals. 2008, Avery ML; Tillman EA; Spurfeld C; Engeman RM; Maciejewski KP; Brown JD; Fetzer EA, 2014.

In Florida, USA, egg-laying occurs in April-May, with hatching in July to August (Avery et al., 2014). Removal strategies included placing bait­ed live traps in shaded areas frequented by ctenosaurs, de­ploying unbaited live traps in the mouths of gopher tortoise burrows where ctenosaurs had entered, and placing unbaited live traps along the base of walls or other bar­riers where ctenosaurs travelled.

Ctenosaura similis, commonly known as the black spiny-tailed iguana, black iguana, or black ctenosaur, is a lizard native to Mexico, Central America, and Colombia that has been introduced to the United States in the state of Florida. Adapts well to disturbed areas, parkland, and human habitation (Henderson, 1973; González-García et al., 2009). [4] Within eight to ten weeks, the female will dig a nest and lay clutches of up to 30 eggs. This scheme was subsequently considered untenable, and 18 species of Ctenosaura are now recognized (Iguana Taxonomy Working Group, 2011).
