To my knowledge he is an iggie, and yeah I have had them before, but this ones colur is very umm..viberent? So I'm not sure if he's a mix or something.

Oh silly photoshop pictures are too funny. Would you mind posting that picture in a larger size so I can have a better look at the pixels. Also...how come the background is gone??? Why is it pitch black behind him???

I like photoshop too...but stop goofing around...aren't you the same guy who edited the crested gecko pictures as well???

I've seen some exotic and magnificent colors in iguanas since I've been doing rescue, about 9 years now. This male came in about 2 years ago and I still think he's one of the most colorful iguanas that I've ever seen. This photo is untouched and the black background happens naturally in some photos taken with a flash.

Pretty boy

I know that iguanas can come in all types of vibrant colors...(and by the way your iguana is beautiful) but that one has me a little suspicious...pink and reddish seems far fetched to me. Plus I'm pretty sure he's the one who was goofing around beforw in the rhacodactylas forum with his crazy coloured crested gecko.

Plus the picture is so small I can't even see anything.

I'm not going to look into this anymore but either way it's a funny picture and I wish your iguana could come over and play with mine...they'd have fun. But mine might get jealous of your iguana's color. On second thought it may make my iguana feel depressed...you keep your iguana away from mine! LOL

Does he really have green eyes? Or are those contacts? *smiles*
What colour can iguana eyes be? Many shades of brown and green?
Just curious.
He truly is a beautiful boy.

I almost agree that this picture looks like it's been doctored up, just because the eye looks just as pink as the surrounding color. But hey, it could just be the small size

In any case, if your question is indeed honest, yes, you have an iggy

what would Iggy be mixxed with???

Spinys are just children with scales and long tails.

wolf9568 Jan 09, 2004 05:26 PM

No the pic isn't altered.
I was thinking he might be a mix of some kind of exotic iguana, or maybe even diseased.
Thanks for your help.
