It's not clear who called police to the Coconut Mallory Resort, but Amy Russell, 39, reportedly from Alabama, told police the iguana bit her toe and she feared contracting salmonella.

Most iguanas are wild and the resort doesn't own the "bright green medium-sized iguana," Officer Brenda Sellers wrote in her report. Also, iguanas generally stay away from humans and rarely bite.
Sellers said that Russell, upon showing her toe with "bright red toenail polish, was squeezing her toe like she was trying to make it look red." But the officer wrote "no injury was visible." Two other women at the resort told Sellers that Russell was "pushing her foot towards the iguana, antagonising it."
