sharecropper Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 When I saw this last week in the Avenue Mall, I initially thought it was a very lifelike statue of an iguana, but when I walked back later, some Russkies were feeding it and I discovered it was indeed real. No idea what it was doing there though. Maybe attracted to all that empty space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Mexican invasion? Looks to me more like a robalo than an iguana. The bad boys of the iguana family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpcoe Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 My first encounter with an iguana in my back yard in Mexico freaked me out. Then I realized she was more afraid of me. Never could make friends with her, but she ate a heck of a lot of decorative plants in the yard. The gardener said some of them might make her sick, but they must have tasted good going down. I wonder where the one in The Avenue came from. Are there lizards that big in Central Pattaya in the wild? One that size seems unlikely to have been someone's house pet, unless they had a BIG house.

Asiantravel Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) you will find it is a pet and belongs to one of the tenants in an upstairs shop. the security guards keep a watch on it and don't seem worried about getting hold of it if he starts wandering too far away.

Peterw42 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I have seen it the 3-4 times I have been there, I always thought it belonged to the real estate office there as thats where I have seen it. I thought it was fake at first, until it moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A google of robalo shows nothing on lizards but lots on boats. Did you make this word up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
