Iggy i wouldnt mind having

[coura]

lol true esp some of the kings/milks/corn snakes

Actualy in the process of domesticacion of a animal including selective breeding it is very often that adult animals retain inmature caracteristics, neoteny if you will, like dogs wich act and look like wolf pupys. May come the day in wich that will apply to many herps.

That iguana advertised in kingsnake.com is just an average green iguana, nothing special (http://www.flickr.com/photos/arthur_chapman/3038670781/). I dont know how people are getting hyped to pay an extra $100 or more for soo called "red" iguanas. Seriously, they're not even red, more orange than anything... if people would take notice of all the babies that are imported yearly, you'd see them in the batches that come in... they're just a bit more orange than normal, they've been around for years and years. Its not something special, they normally tend to turn a bit brighter when they get older, but even normal green colored males can turn into these massive bright orange tiger striped beast that you see advertised. Yes like Coura stated, a few locals and iguanas from certain regions have certain coloration. But they are highly variable... just put green iguana in the Flickr.com search, and you'll see how variably they are... nothing fancy

here are some examples:

i know im kinda late on this but there is nothing special about that iguana posted on kingsnake. i saw the ad and i laughed when i read it. there are a ton of iggs that look like that. when they get older the pattern will just turn a bronze color when he is older. and they call it a "cryptic" pattern. people are idiots and will try to market anything these days lol.



i feel bad for the stupid SOB that buys that igg lol. i dont like any of the color morphs that are out for iggs. they may look cool but they arent worth the money. i have a regular igg and when mine is fired up he has a decent amount of red in him.
