There is no such thing as Ble Diamond, it is just a maketing fluke, by Fluker Farms. I remember there were Aqua Marine iguanas once at a petshop in my town.
Florida Iguanas are feral iguanas, that is, pet iguanas or imported iguanas that have escaped or been released in the wild.
The others u mentioned differ slightly in coloring, and size, but they are still Iguana Iguana
There are mainly these species:
Iguana Iguana
Ctenosaura sp. (spiny tailed/club tailed iguanas)
Dipsosaurus (desert iguana)
Cyclura sp.
Galapagos iguanas (marine and land)
and the rarest and most beautiful: Iguana delicatissima, the Fijian Iguana.
Those are the main well known types.
Here on the board u'll see Threads on "Red iguanas" and albinos. The reds are Green Iguanas who display more red coloring than green.
