The Green Iguana is the most iconic pet lizard in the world, known for its dinosaur-like appearance and impressive size. While the classic wild type is green, selective breeding has produced a stunning array of living jewels. We offer a complete spectrum of morphs: from the classic Green, vibrant Red, and electric Blue, to the recessive Albino and Red Albino. For high-end collectors, we also stock the glowing Hypo Green and Hypo Red, as well as the pristine, ghost-like Snow morph. These lizards are intelligent and can become quite tame with regular handling.

Notes: This is a large, arboreal species that requires a massive enclosure (often room-sized for adults) with significant vertical space for climbing. They demand very strong UVB lighting and high temperatures to digest their food properly.

Male Aggression Warning: Adult males can become territorial and aggressive during breeding season. Early socialization and consistent handling are crucial to keeping them tractable pets.
