Iguana Reserve

On Thursday morning we headed out to the Turtle Reserve where a group has been hatching turtle eggs and releasing baby turtles in hopes to increase the population. The sea turtles in this area are often hunted and their eggs are dug up for eating, even though it's illegal.

Unfortunately when we got to the reserve there was no one there and everything was locked up. We waited around for a little bit and got to peak through the door to see some baby turtles, but no one turned up so we headed out.

Our next stop was the Iguana Reserve just off the highway on the way home. After getting slightly lost in the salt flats on the way there we were happy to find that someone was there to show us around. We got a great tour of reserve which included iguanas, snapping turtles, peacocks, goats, ducks and deer.

This deer was so tame he would come up and lick your hand.
