Our new rescue

Beautiful coloration! I have never seen one that color:) Its natural for igs to have different colors other than green. one of my igs is now aqua green. :)

it almost looks like a main land iguana from the Galapigos islands.

Green iguanas from Mexico tend to have orange coloration year round.

Thank you all for the comments. It seems orange is not too odd in the Honduras area and near the Amazon rain forest. I got to admit this guy is stunning. Thanks again~ Lin

this iguana is a nice little fella his color is orange because it is their mating season ig color changes everyyear mostly during summertime to a bright/dark orange

Thanks for your comments Mickey, but this guy has apparently been green for at least the last 3 years. I'd say it's his 'real' color.

lins thats a female ig

Okay Mickey, you know it all, apparently more than the 2 vets HE has been to. Like I said before, if you bothered to read up on him. He is stunted. This is definately a HE.

take a close look at the head and jowls lin its a female

HE! has got to be one of the most beautiful iguanas I have ever seen. I hope one day I will have such a great ig. DC

Thank you DC!! He is so sweet too. I read your little bio on the side of your post. So glad to see someone wanting to learn all they can instead of just stopping their knowledge. I am so new at this (lizards) and it is a bit daunting all that there is to learn but rewarding to watch Marley improve and reveal more of his personality. Thanks again!
Lin & Marley

Very pretty iggy! My iggy is just starting to get a bit of orange coloration. I'm not quite sure Mickey knows what he/she is talking about...he/she has the characteristics of male and female igs completely backwards...I knew he was a he as soon as I saw the pic!
