S&S has blue phase iguanas that look just like mine for 2K each. Does anyone know the origins of these animals?

i think theirs is from petco as well. I think somewhere in the world there was a clutch or 2 that hatched out like these and without anyone paying attention to it, they ended up at petco distribution center and then over a number of days got shipped out to select areas as not all petco's got these. I think based on what i could count thru the threads and various conversations it is not as many as people would believe there to be. The fact that there were a number of people selling at the same time makes it seem like there are alot of them. except for the ones that came from tom crutchfield there have been no other blue or turquoise iguanas in america and if they are, they are well hidden.

I have found a couple of them in 2 other countries but even those were rare and ranging in price of no less than 5k each. I would be curious to see if petco has alot more of these.
again, just an opinion but they are beautiful

I did see 2 more at the petco here today. one looks to be more of a robins egg blue and the other is in deep shed but looks like a nice sky blue. I just don't have the space right now to add to my iguanas or a place to quarantine them is why i passed.

can i ask where you are located. i am just trying to figure out to my best guess how many there are actually or a close guess. seems weird that this is the first time someone has hatched out this many and for them to hit the market thru petco just seems a little weird to me. seems that something this rare would have ended up out there in the hands of a breeder or large wholesaler
