o yes those stribes are awsome looking.i was looking at his stomach and was like" omg look at that!" i love them.

The really cool part about nursing him back was that i had no knowledge about sick iguanas and did it all by my self. stupid reptile shops.

ps tiny was on my hand as i was typing this and was staring intently at espios picture

I was told that my andy would lose his aqua striping on his underside and base of his tail by the time he was a year and a half old. we are almost at that year and a half and andys stripes are very firmly in place and as bold and vibrant as ever.

they will dull out eventually.. when they start getting bigger there scales will spread out and that is when they start to get very pale in color because the scales are further apart.

here is a picture of tiny when he/she was dehydrated. i dont use the leash like that anymore and she has grown about an inch in 3 weeks. also it has fattened up and the colors are much more bright.

look at this picture and then look at the godzilla picture
