Identification Help

puffdragon Mar 02, 2009 08:21 PM

Hello All,
I am hoping someone can help me identify this Cteno. Currently, it's the only picture I have but will try to get more. I was thinking similis or quinquecarinata. What do you think?
Thanks!

Unless you have a very small hand, that is a very large quinquecarinata.

Upon second thought, I would need to see a side view. From the top, the color, and body shape looks very Quinque, except the whorls look a little small, and the size. If that is a quinque, that one is a giant.

Thanks Mark for the help, but as it turns out the person who posted the ad I saw pulled the picture from another website. I just did a google search on "Spiny Tail Iguanas" and the picture showed up on the second page! So who knows what this person has or if they really have them to begin with. I did request they take their own pictures and send them to me, but who knows at this point.
