Tom Godzilla was your cyclura? Dang! That lizard was HUGE and AWESOME. I helped out, when he had surgery on his tail, no words can describe how amazing he was in person. I remember when Colette would go into his pen, and boy did he have a fit about it. I recall they brought a "pure" female from "Philly zoo" if I'm correct. She was very pretty, and had a slight yellowish ting to her, but she was super skittish. And I remember they had a young female about 2ft or a bit larger, that was never paired because she was too small, but she did lay 2-3 eggs without ever being bred. Last time I visited, they had hatched 2 blues from another pairing, everybody always said that GODZILLA was too old and slow to breed, it was a dam shame because he was solid blue with those piercing red eyes. I recall the resident vet was experimenting on trying to keep iguana semen alive long enough to some how try to artifically insemenate them.
These are some old photos I took from Cycluras at GPZ.
