Bamboo Chicken

I just had to post this picture of Victor Pop and the 4 female Iguana. I had some for lunch the other day and it was quite good, eggs and all. Each female contains 40-70 eggs in her side pouches. I am always torn about the hunting of female Iguanas with eggs. They are prized catch here, but I realize that by not letting the females lay their eggs there could be serious consequences for the population in the future. Right now the Iguana are not endangered, but if the market for the meat and eggs stays strong, there could be problems with over-hunting in the future.
