My very big adopted Raptor

Is he truly blue? What a big hunk of iguana! A real beauty!!

Yes his head and very upper body does have a blue or aqua tint to it. I'm not really good with the digital camera yet but it does show his true colors. He is in the middle of a shed now and his head seems to be turning even bluer and his legs oranger! I have measured him since and he is 5'7". He is doing really well!! Hope Marley continues to get better Linszoo!

So much for the green iguana! Sure seem to have some dazzling colors. How old is this baby? I can't get over those colors. So cool!! And thanks for the well wishes for Marley. :) Lin

The person we adopted him from had rescued him from a home where he was fed lettuce and lived in an aquarium. She thought he was about two when she rescued him and she had him about two years, so i guess that makes him somewhere around four. He is such a sweety!! The tamest of my "pet" iguanas and my rescues!! Steph

raptor...hmmm sounds familliar did you adopt him from scales & tails?

Yes we adopted him from a very nice person in KC who was taking very good care of him (after she "rescued" him from someone else!! He was already extremely tame when we adopted him. Also there has been more than one Raptor on Scales and Tails but he was the one from MO.!!

He is pretty! At 5'7" STL, he is probably older than four, but maybe not. I would like to know what she was feeding him if he was eating mostly lettuce before and he got this big and healthy in two years! I need some of whatever that was for my iguana.

what a great lookin ig

What a hunk! He is a great looking Ig. You are doing a great job with him.
