Below is a list of a few different types of iguanas and a few green iguana morphs that are available in today’s pet market. Iguanas are somewhat high maintenance, so make sure to do some reading on iguana care before getting one. For those of you who don’t like to read, I will tell you this… they get big, can sometimes be aggressive, can bite very hard, and need an enclosure bigger than what most people are willing to provide. But if you are a dedicated pet owner, you wont have anything to worry about, because with the right care, iguanas can make great pets.

1. Green Iguana The green iguana is the most common type of iguana being sold today. Throughout the past years, many breeders have come out with some sensational colored iguana morphs ranging from green, yellow, blue, red, and black. Some different colored morphs are listed below. Price: $15 – $25 2. Albino Iguana The albino iguana is definitely a lizard to admire for its color. Being a very rare morph, they are priced quite high. They can develop pink, orange, and yellow markings with age. If you are into exotic colors and animals, the albino is the way to go. Albino iguanas have one of the two genes that are needed to make a snow iguana (blizzard iguana). Price: $3000 – $4000 3. Axanthic or Blue Iguana Blue Iguanas are true beauties. Their blue color makes them stand out from distance. This lizard is a great add-on to any iguana breeder out there trying to develop some new iguana morphs. True Blue Iguanas (Axanthic Iguanas) have the other gene needed to make a snow iguana (blizzard iguana). Axanthic Iguana Price: $400 – $500 Blue Iguana Price: $350 4. Albino T-Neg Iguana True t- albino iguanas are very rare to come across in the pet trade. The very few breeders that have them are working hard to breed them to produce more. True t- Albino Iguanas remain bright yellow with pink and peach highlights throughout their body. Price: $10,000+ 5. Red Iguana There are two different types of red iguanas being sold in the pet market today. The first is a false red iguana with a green bottom which sells for about $50. The second is a true red ‘flame’ iguana which sells for hundreds. Do not get fooled into paying a bundle for a false red iguana. Price: $400 – $500 6. Hypomelanistic Hypomelanistic iguanas turn up in clutches from time to time. Their color is almost a lime green color. They are known to have a reduced melanin pigment, so it is very important that they are supplemented with vitamin D3 supplements. It has yet to be proven to be a genetic trait. Price: $2,500 7. Cayman Brac Iguana Cayman Brac Iguanas are big, silver, and gray. Their head is very unique compared to other lizards. Their head appears to have a long and flat angle shaped appearance. Price: $895 (only found one price online) Please comment to let me know anything different. 8. Cuban Rock Iguana Cuban iguanas (aka: cuban rock iguanas) get bulky and are one of the coolest cyclura species you can get. Being one of the longest living Iguanas (60 to 80 years), they require a lot of dedication. In my opinion, cuban iguanas are the tamest of the Cyclura Iguanas, so if you are looking for one, this might be a good choice. Price: $200 – $300 9. Grand Cayman Iguana This is the Grand Cayman’s largest native land animal. This iguana grows up to 5 feet long, and weighs roughly 25 – 30 lbs. Grand Cayman iguanas are also known as blue iguanas because of their blue color that they can show. Normally, they will only show their true blue colors when other animals are present, to show and establishment of territory. Price: $1,500 10. Rhino Iguana The rhino iguana is another type of iguana that people absolutely love. As a baby, you can tame them to be pretty docile. They are not sold as regularly as green iguanas, but there is still a good number of them out there. They are usually available year-long from most iguana breeders. Price: $250 – $260

The type of iguana that you are looking for may or may not be on here. There are many more iguana species being sold at different locations. The prices also vary in different locations. The more rare the lizard is in your area, the more money it will cost you to get one. Sometimes, buying online will save you a lot of money.

And to sum it all up, here’s a variety of green iguana morphs. The type of iguana is listed from right to left…
