Green Iguanas are native to forest areas of South America and are one of the most popular pet lizards until they reach a size too big for a normal tank!

Iguanas can grow to 1.5m and sometimes 2m and 10kg weight.

There are 690 species of Iguanas, in 48 genera. They are large lizards having 5 toes with claws, a parietal third eye, and are similar to the Agamidae family (including Bearded Dragons).
