We have a pond in our backyard. It used to have about 8 frogs living in it, a combination of Leopard and Bull frogs. We noticed that gradually over the last few months, they were dissapearing, one by one. Now there are only two. One Leopard and one Bull. We've never had an issue before where our frogs just picked up and left. They stay through the hot months and the cold months (whenever we get the cold months here in FL). Ok, so a few weeks ago, we started noticing poop on the rocks that surround the pond. This was dark brown/black poo that was about an inch long. Didn't look like cat poo or frog poo. Oh, before I forget, we do have a chain link fence around the part of the yard that the pond is in and it is 6 feet tall. Now about a week ago, Jeff and I were going out to the car and he yelled "There's an alligator running out of our yard!!!". I was like what?? I go after it and it stopped on the street and I got a good look at it. It was not an alligator, lol. It was a full grown Iguana! *It didn't have a tail though, something must have got at it because it only had a small one inch nub, but I could see the tail was already growing back*. So now, we're wondering if somehow the Iguana got over our fence (which has 8 large Citrus trees right next to it. Perfect for climbing) and went frog hunting? Do Iguana's eat frogs? I didn't think they did. I thought they ate veggies. But maybe he got desperate? I've seen lizard poo before, and usually it has the white pee stuff mixed in with it, but these poopies didn't. So does anybody think this Iguana may be the frog killer? We also have two large Goldfish and we don't want them to be eaten as well. Maybe I'm wrong about the whole thing and 6 out of the 8 frogs just decided to move on, but I doubt it. They have it good here, lol. Let me know what you guys think
