The Inside Story: Reptile ownership often begins with a baby Green Iguana

Common Green Iguana



As common as the green iguana (iguana iguana) is within the pet trade, it is surprising that there is not much information available on proven Iguana morphs. Even the large iguana farms in Central and South America are not exactly sure which breedings produce which offspring.

Iguana Morphs are basically “The New Country” in reptile projects. Many of us that work with Iguana Morphs, in many cases, must speculate on what a particular iguana morph truly is (ie pastel, hypo, caramel, T+, axanthic, codom, recessive, etc), or what a particular iguana pattern or color mutation will potentially create.
We apologize for any errors that we make in our comments or speculations. We definitely do not intend to offend fellow Iguana breeders. Nor do we intend to mislead the reptile community. As I have stated, this is “New Country” and we are all in the learning process. I have been to some of the largest Iguana morph farms in the world and been present when the perceived experts have had eggs hatch. They are as baffled as I am at the appearance of the offspring and are asking me what I think their offspring may be. 

This is truly new territory. U.S. Iguana's passion is Iguana morphs. We love our lizards and we eat, drink, and breathe iguanas. However, we do not profess to be scientists nor experts. We are simply hobbyists that are eager to learn more about this fantastic project.


Iguana Projects:


U.S. Iguana is involved in various iguana (iguana iguana) morph projects and we are currently raising hets, double hets DH, possible triple hets, and visual offspring for numerous projects including:




Albino (true T- ) Iguana x Albino (true T- ) Iguana

Albino (true T- ) Iguana x Blue (Axanthic) Iguana

Albino (true T- ) Iguana x Red ( RedruM ) Iguana

Blue ( Axanthic ) Iguana x Red ( RedruM ) Iguana

Caramel ( Lutino / T+ ) Iguana x Red ( RedruM ) Iguana

Caramel ( Lutino / T+ ) Iguana x Blue ( Axanthic ) Iguana

Hypo Iguana x Albino (true T- ) Iguana

Hypo Iguana x Red ( RedruM ) Iguana

Black Iguana x Albino (true T- ) Iguana





Also, over the years, we have acquired many odd and unique iguanas that we are working to “prove out” and combine with proven iguana morph projects.
