Prologue: Red iguanas are just a
color variation of the green iguanas. They have been selectively bred
by iguana ranchers to produce redder and redder strains. They still
cost quite a bit more than the standard greens. See
Iguana New for
additional iguana info. Treat them exactly as you would your average
green iguana.
