While there used to be two subspecies of Green Iguana—the Iguana iguana and the Iguana rhinolopha—the only currently recognized species of Green Iguana is the Iguana iguana. This is because there exists too much variety in the differentiating characteristics an iguana shows depending on the geographic location where it lives. There are other species of iguana that are not in the pet trade, such as the marine, rhino, and rock iguanas.
GREEN IGUANA SIZE
There is a great amount of variation in the potential adult size of green iguanas, depending on the country they came from and the conditions in which they were kept. Generally, adult iguanas will achieve a length between 4 and 5 feet, sometimes reaching up to 6 feet in length.
Some South American male iguanas have reached a length of nearly 7 feet and can weigh up to 18 pounds. Green iguanas that are 6-feet in length or larger are rarely found in captivity.
GREEN IGUANA LIFESPAN
Green iguanas are relatively long-lived specimens, with the average green iguana living for ten to fifteen years. Some male green iguanas can live in excess of twenty years, with the record held by a male iguana that lived to be between twenty-two and twenty-five.
GREEN IGUANA APPEARANCE
Green iguanas can vary greatly in their appearance and markings, their country of origin and the environment in which they were raised determines much of how they look. Generally speaking though, green iguanas have very long tails, up to three times their body length. Green iguanas also have permanent dewlaps; the turkey-like crest that hangs from their throat. Males always have larger dewlaps than female specimens.
Green iguanas also have one or more enlarged scales right beneath their eardrums, and enlarged neck and back crests. Iguanas resemble little dragons, which is probably why they’re one of the most popular lizards to keep as pets.
In addition to the size of their crests fluctuating, green iguanas can take on a spectrum of colors, from dark greens and browns to lighter blues, turquoises, and reds. They can also have a banded appearance, or odd patterning, however these green iguana varieties are quite rare.
