Lizard invaders have been found in Toombs and Tattnall counties. DNR and partners have documented more than 20 Argentine black and white tegus in the wild from Lyons to Reidsville. These South American reptiles can grow 4 feet long and pose threats to Georgia wildlife. Tegus will eat the eggs of ground-nesting birds – including quail and turkeys – and the young of gopher tortoises and alligators. Tell DNR about tegus in the wild, alive or dead. Report them at gainvasives.org/tegus, 478.994.1438
