I love iguanas. They are so prehistoric looking. I love the texture of their skin and the colors. I am glad you enjoyed the cactus and bird nests on my site. You are correct that this was a strange but fascinating cactus. I will have more Chihuly and cactus coming up and a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West over the next few weeks.
Oh, my goodness ... buy him, but not eat him! I used to help clip iguana nails when I volunteered at an educational petting zoo. Someone would have the tail .... you can imagine!
This or a baby calf. I suppose it depends on where a person is born. I see the natives in the jungles of South America cutting down a kind of palm tree to get out these thumb-size white grubs with brownish heads. They are supposed to be filled with protein and taste something like vanilla custard or a little old yogurt. Yummy.

Hallo, Kate........some nice green tones in this fellow. I really like him/her.
And..a happy Easter to you. (Yes, it's much better with the green and yelow back in.)
Pleez don't eat him!
I played too :)
His color is wonderful! I could not imagine holding him - makes me shiver. :)
My post is here: Carletta’s Captures.
They're definitely a food source south of the border, but I've always enjoyed their non-culinary aspects.
That size probably wouldn't be a good pet, though; they can use that long tail like a whip!
Great shot!

I guess You were supposed to stop at the stall and then it's up to shopkeeper skills.
Uh, neither!
Oh my! I wouldn't want to eat him nor would I want him as a pet!
Great photo.

Judged from the picture alone I would have put him gently down :-)
Happy Easter!
Very colorful. And so relaxed.
I am not so fearless around them lol...
it isnt good for eating...too small lol. the bigger one tastes better than chicken! :D
He does look a bit plump... fire up the oven!!
What an interesting-looking critter. I really like the green.
he's a big guy sandy
He looks very quite!
Cute!
Looks like he might try to eat you! Lol. Great photo.
By the way he is looking at you he may have been thinking the same thing! ;) Great shot!
That a handsome creature but eat him? I'll pass on that one. Great photo! Thanks for visiting my site!
I'd say he's a good-looking fella, but I don't even know if it's a male. ;-) Cool photo.
Not sure my pallet would like the taste of this little critter!
I think it was a good decision to photograph it over dinning on it ;)
You picked up the colour beautifully.
Such a beautiful iguana. I had a friend whose daughter kept one as a pet for years. Great photo!
I've seen these guys at Cañon del Sumidero, in Chiapas. They are wonderful animals!
