The reds are not very expensive but yellows, blues and white ones are not yet on the market. The last time I saw a strange color morph for sale is was an albino iguana which looks sort of like a pale version of the yellow one pictured above and it sold for $5,000.

Wow! Beautiful. How did you come to get those beauties? Do you breed them? Do you happen to have any pics of a adult red ig? Again beautiful animals!

Those photos came directily from the Reptile Republic/Fluker Farms wholesale website, one of the largest importers of farm hatched iguanas and bearded dragons. They have been producing reds for many years and I know that they’ve been working on other color morphs. The last time I had a conversation with Howard Fluker, about 7 years ago, he told me that they were working on an all black morph, also.

As much as I’d like to have one of those blue morphs I will not support a company that imports baby iguanas by the hundreds of thousands every year. I also believe that the albino, yellow, and other lighter colored morphs should not be cultivated and mass produced. UVB dependant animals with such light skin colors don’t tolerate exposure to UVB well and often have problems such as skin conditions and eye problems.

I had wanted to grow up a red iguana for a long time to see what it would look like as an adult but refused to get one produced by Flukers for the reason stated above and because of some information that I received about their animals being unhealthy. I waited until they were being produced in the private sector and got my red baby last September.

Thanks for that information Jif, I had no idea. Although, it makes perfect sense. The same people who originally discovered the various ball python morphs were the same people who were importing them by the hundreds and had the best opportunity of observing different localities/morphs. Small, private businesses simply do not have near as many animals to sort through and the chance of them coming across any abnormalities is lessened .

Not that I would buy one in the first place, but now I definitely wont.

The iguanas are shipped in boxes by the hundreds. They are cramped together and by the time the show up they are dehydrated and many have already died. How else do you think they keep the costs of iguanas so low? They sacrifice the wellbeing of the animals. If you have any ethics invested in animals, which you should if you’re an iguana owner, it’s easy to understand why these practices should not be supported.

those prcatices go for many animals and should not be tolerated no matter what it is .... from ferrets to iggys to pigs and chickens.... but as long as ppl buy them they will do it to make money

Your interpretation of the English language is fascinating, but I’d like to second RappinRaptor in asking WTF you’re talking about.

As beautiful as these anmals are, and as badly as I want one, I just can’t support the way selling them is handled.

And Frillz, WHAT?! This is an English speaking website. Please translate. lol.
