So what do you do if you open the toilet and find an iguana staring back at you? (That is, if you survive the heart attack you're almost certain to have at that point.)
Crystal Collins of Hollywood, FL joked about burning the house down, but obviously that's NOT the best solution!
Her husband was the first to see it, and she sarcastically says his scream was 'very manly.'
They did (inadvertently) the right thing. They trapped the iguana in the bathroom and got someone to come and remove it. There are actual services you can call, but they got a friend with a garbage bag. Admittedly, they thought the thing was dead and were a little surprised to find out it wasn't.
Iguanas can get into a house through a door or window, a pipe on the roof, and sometimes through the sewer.
Crystal tells CBS News Miami if this happens again, they may have to move.
