Smallest Iguana Species?

Lucien Aug 18, 2004 02:20 PM

My experience is with Green Iguana's. Never looked into other species. I'd kill to have a Fiji Banded but until they've been bred enough in captivity and are available to the public without a CITES permit there's no way I'll ever have one.. so now I'm looking for the smallest species of Iguana thats available in the pet trade. I know about the Desert Spiny.. some info anyway...I'd prefer CBB but I know thats not always going to be a reality and I've accustomed wild caught animals before (My monitor is one classic example.. she isn't a puppy dog.. she's what a monitor should be. Happiest when she's covered in dirt and with an attitude.) Anyway, any info on other iguana species that are small and available would be appreciated. Mostly just names and species names.. I can work from there.

Probably a desert iguana is the smallest. They tend to be a bit larger than jeweled curly tails.
