Cyclura is a genus of lizards from the family Iguanidae. Members of this genus are known as "cyclurids" or more commonly as rock iguanas and only occur on islands in the West Indies. All rock iguanas are herbivorous, consuming leaves, flowers, berries, and fruits from different plant species. Ctenosaura is a genus of lizard commonly known as spinytail iguanas and is native to Mexico and Central America. Ctenousaurs are generally omnivorous, feeding on fruits, flowers, foliage, and small animals. Some members of this genus are popular as pets. Here you may post messages or questions pertaining to all aspects and issues regarding the keeping, breeding, health, and conservation of all Cyclura, Ctenosaura, (Rhinocerous, Spinytail, Carribean Rock-Iguanas), and related species.
