On Key Biscayne the population isn't as large which makes it more difficult to catch them. If you go to Amelia Earhart Park in Hialeah you will see alot more animals. The population their is incredible but they are difficult to catch there as well. If you are interested in catching them there, as soon as you enter th park they are all over the rocks and if you take your car on the open land to the left you will see them absolutely everywhere in the bushes around that area. They tend to get spooked very easily and go inside their burrows. The best way to catch them taht I have used is to catch them from your car with a very long catch pool and noose. The younger animals dont have burrows yet so they are much easier to catch than the older animals. This method works VERY well for almost all other lizard and iguana sepcies, but I have had alot of trouble with the similis. I have also been searching for the population of pectinatas in Miami, but have yet to find them. I hope this is helpful
