I am a student at Rowan University currently studying the IWL population in Mount Laurel NJ. Started with 120 animals 30 years ago that were released and now the town has an estimated 6-7000. Im working with the NJ dep. of fish and wildlife to gather data on the population, confirm it's size and help decide what effects they might be having on the native lizard populations. Pretty cool lizards though.
