Green Iguana Project

A few weeks ago, officials from the Costa Rican Environment Ministry visited us to ask for help with a Green Iguana Project. They had found 400 eggs in danger of not hatching properly and brought them to Arenas Del Mar to bury them in the sand. About 30 have hatched already. The first few weeks, they are held in a small protected area to make sure they are not eaten by other animals on the property. By the way, the first week of their lives, they eat "big iguana poop" and so one of our gardener had to collect iguana poop in different locations here in Manuel Antonio...fun stuff. We will keep you posted on progress and within the next months, you should be seeing many Green Iguanas all over Arenas Del Mar.
