A really big unhealthly obease rhino iguana might weigh 30lbs. Most of the totally huge monsters when put on an honest scale will hover around 20lbs. The one in your link has a very short tail...often caused by a life in captivity in a very dry climate.
The one being held was about 20lbs. The one on the ground was the largest in the main exhibit at ZooDom, DR. It is not a very impressive photo, but looks are deceiving, I will guess 28lbs. Rhino Iguanas seem to be the heaviest bodied of the cyclura species.
