The Banana iguanas (C. pectinata) are not aggressive like the C. similis. Their yellow color attracted me to the species, but I assumed they would be crazy like the similis; it is their temporment & docile nature that sealed the deal and made it so I had to have them. They are a perfect size as adults, not too big like a green iguana. Calm, colorful and easy to keep, the perfect combination. The only challange has been breeding them, as fertility and hatch rates have been low. Thus the only negatives, low fertility & high prices.



Good luck if you get one.
