Florida resort guests are horrified to find influx of huge lizards after mother ... trends now

A female iguana was found stuck inside of a water slide jet at a Florida resort after she laid more than two dozen eggs that ended up at the bottom of a swimming pool. 

On Friday, Michael Ronquillo, the owner of Humane Iguana Control, arrived at an unnamed resort in Miami after he was contacted about the mother and her babies. 

'Upon our arrival, the iguana escaped, leaving behind 30 eggs in the swimming pool. We've received calls about iguanas nesting in unusual places like pools, under artificial turf, and cars,' Ronquillo told Fox News

Ronquillo said that his team have 'no idea' how the iguana and her eggs got trapped in the slide and pool. 

Humane Iguana Control told DailyMail.com that the mother escaped from the jet while the eggs had to be 'dispatched due to iguanas being an invasive species.'

Pictures showed the eggs sprawled across the pool floor, close to the drain, as another shot showed the large female iguana trapped inside the water slide jet. 

Her legs hung out of the holes in the jet, as Ronquillo said that his team believes that the mother was 'trying to lay eggs in there.' 

'Female iguanas are very active during the breeding season and you will find them in random places,' he said in a post about the bizarre find on Instagram

Another clip showed the experts looking inside the pool pipe with an endoscopy camera to 'make sure' the iguana was not trapped in there. 

Toward the end of the video, Ronquillo showed the collection of eggs that his crew rescued from the bottom of the pool. 

'We're not really sure how the iguana laid them on the slide, or that area, and how they ended up in the pool,' Ronquillo said. 

Mating season for the reptiles typically runs from February to March, and Ronquillo said that females are known to lay 'up to 70 eggs annually.'
