This lizard is called a green iguana. They are
found in the tropics such as the Caribbean and Mexico. Iguanas are
mostly vegetarian although they eat some insects. They spend about
90% of the day sitting still.

| This Iguana came to the Center in November 1998. He was abandoned after being given as a gift to someone who was not ready to care for an animal that lives 20 years and will grow longer than 4 feet long. As with all pets , it is important to learn about an animal (what they eat, how big they get and how long they live) before buying one. Some pets require a lot of care and responsibility. The Green Iguana now resides at the Sharon Audubon Center and appears in many of our reptile programs. |  |
