Another important way to distinguish between the native and endemic iguana is the bands on the tail, green iguanas have black bands (left) while they are absent in the native Lesser attillean iguana #conservation #dominica #iguana

Good morning twitter from a rather grumpy Fiji crested iguana! :@IamJoeyBrown

Here are two #iguanas captured on surveys in #Dominica one is the endemic lesser antillean iguana and one the invasive green iguana, can you spot the differences? #conservation #invasivespecies #herpetology

And of course I get to continue working with all sorts of iguanas, like these hatchling Jamaican Rock Iguanas! #womeninscience #scicomm #iguanas
