 What kind of Iguana is this?

Well I visit an Iguana forum in spanish and someone posted these pictures asking what type of reptile is this.

And well it looks very much like a green iguana but also has certain characteristics that don’t quite match.

Here are the pics if somebody knows if it’s a green iguana or not. But it’s veeery beautiful.

I’ve done some research and actually I think it is a Ctenosaura Pectinata.

What do you think, my doubt was what kind of Ctenosaura and am I right?.

His green will fade, and he will likely turn grey and black. Visit WestCoastIguana dot com for more info or shoot me a PM.

Well it’s not mine but the guy that has is it bought it from a guy at the beach in Tepic, Nayarit which is where Randy (forum user) lives, and I think is wild caught by the guy that sell it but what can you do.

Of course I wouldn’t buy if I knew it was wild caught but this guy that I’m telling you has no idea.

But anyway the iguana is cute.

You shouldn’t feel guilty. You can catch them on Gasparilla Island in Florida. There from southwest Mexico, so you’re not ripping them from their natural habitat.

Oh ok,

Now that you said that I wish I was in Tepic and found one of those pectinatas because they are B-E-AUTIFUL.

Well thanks guys and I just told the guy that I told at the forum what kind of iguanas he has.
